01

What Students Need to Do

Students notice how layout, headings, fonts, images, captions, sound, and pacing shape meaning. They choose design features that fit a specific audience, purpose, mode, and genre, then explain their choices.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can compare two versions of the same message and explain which better serves a named audience and purpose. The student can revise a text so its design guides attention, improves clarity, and matches the genre.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat design as decoration rather than a choice that shapes meaning. They may assume more color, larger fonts, or extra images always improve a text. They may overlook how captions, spacing, sound, and navigation affect clarity and access.

04

How to Assess It

Give students two differently designed announcements for the same school event. Ask them to choose the better version for sixth graders and explain how two design choices support that audience.

1. 01

   Give groups a paragraph, printed headings, images, and captions, then have them assemble a clear one-page announcement for families.

2. 02

   Ask students to compare two website homepages and write which design better serves new visitors, citing three visible features.

3. 03

   Play Design Detective by showing slides, posters, and videos while teams identify the audience, purpose, and evidence from design choices.

4. 04

   Have students redesign the school lunch menu for younger students, using readable type, clear sections, helpful icons, and limited color.
