What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students make a text or presentation for a named audience and a clear purpose. They combine several modes, such as written words, images, audio, charts, video, or layout, in deliberate ways.

What Mastery Looks Like

Students create a text or presentation with a clear purpose and a defined audience. They combine words with features such as images, audio, charts, layout, or video, and each feature strengthens the message.

Common Misconceptions

Students may add images, music, or color as decoration rather than to support the message. They may choose features they like without considering the audience, or repeat the same information in every mode.

How to Assess It

Give students a plain paragraph about a school issue. Ask them to name a target audience and add two purposeful modes, then explain how each mode helps that audience.

Ways to Teach It

  1. Give groups a short article, poster paper, and markers, then have them turn its main claim into an infographic for sixth graders.

  2. Ask students to explain which modes would best persuade the principal to change a school rule and why.

  3. Play Audience Switch by having students redesign one message for parents, classmates, and elementary students using different modes.

  4. Have students create a public service post about heat safety using a caption, image, statistic, and color choices for a local audience.
