What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students create a message for a named audience and combine two purposes, such as informing and persuading. They use words, images, audio, video, layout, or delivery choices to support both purposes.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can create a focused product for a named group, such as new students or families. Each word, image, sound, layout choice, or speaking move supports the audience and both intended purposes.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may add a random image and assume the text is now multimodal. They may address “everyone” instead of a specific audience, or confuse having two purposes with covering two topics.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: Create a three-slide message for sixth graders that explains one school rule and persuades them to follow it, using text and images.
