What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students create a text or presentation using two or more modes, such as words, images, audio, or video. They shape it for a specific audience and more than one purpose, then judge and revise their choices.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A strong student can combine written, visual, and audio features that clearly support two purposes for a named audience. The student can use a checklist to judge each feature and make specific revisions.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may add pictures or audio that decorate the text but do not support its message. They may write for a general audience, address only one purpose, or evaluate only spelling and grammar.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: Create one slide that informs and persuades new students about a school rule using words and an image. Label each feature, then explain how it fits the audience and purpose.
Lesson moves
Ways to Teach It
Give students a school event flyer template, photos, markers, and data, then have them design it to inform and persuade ninth graders.
Ask students which image, caption, color, and spoken element best fits parents, and how each feature serves a second purpose.
Play Audience Switch: teams revise one slide for students, parents, or staff, then label the purpose served by each change.
Have students create a bus safety announcement for younger riders that teaches one rule and persuades them to follow it.
