01

What Students Need to Do

Students analyze how features such as layout, images, headings, fonts, color, sound, and pacing affect a reader or viewer. They also select design features that fit a specific audience, purpose, mode, and genre.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students can explain how a specific design choice guides attention, sets tone, or supports understanding. They can create or revise a text so its design fits a named audience and purpose.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat fonts, images, color, sound, and layout as decoration rather than meaning-making choices. They may also choose design features they like without considering the intended audience, purpose, or genre.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a plain announcement and ask them to redesign it for seventh graders, then name two choices and explain each choice's effect.

1. 01

   Give pairs two differently designed versions of one article, then have them mark where layout, images, and type guide their attention.

2. 02

   Ask students to explain which design choices would make a school safety message clear and convincing for younger students.

3. 03

   Play a matching game where students pair audience cards with suitable fonts, images, headings, colors, audio, or page layouts.

4. 04

   Compare two restaurant menus, then write which design better helps customers choose quickly and why.
