01

What Students Need to Do

Students identify who a text is meant for and what the writer wants that group to think, feel, know, or do. They examine how wording, tone, details, and format match those goals. They also compare how a message changes for different readers.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Given an advertisement, speech, article, or message, students identify likely readers and the writer's goal using clear evidence. They explain how tone, details, wording, and format fit those readers and goals.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may confuse the topic with the writer's purpose. They may name the actual reader instead of the intended audience. They may label a text as informative or persuasive without connecting that purpose to specific choices.

04

How to Assess It

Exit ticket: Compare “Students, return permission slips by Friday” with “Families, please sign and return permission slips by Friday.” Identify each audience and explain one wording choice.

1. 01

   Give groups excerpt cards to sort by intended audience and purpose, then have them underline the clues that support each choice.

2. 02

   Ask, “How would a school phone policy announcement change if written for students, families, or teachers?”

3. 03

   Play Audience Switch: students draw an audience card and rewrite the same announcement, while classmates guess the new audience from textual clues.

4. 04

   Examine a product label, advertisement, and safety notice, then list how each text's audience affects its wording, details, and design.
