What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students notice that stories, signs, lists, pictures, and videos include different kinds of details. They choose ideas and information that fit the text they make.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students can explain why a sign uses short words and clear pictures, while a story includes characters and events. They create a text with fitting details.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think every text should include characters and a story. They may focus on decoration instead of choosing details that help the audience.
How to Assess It
- Exit prompt: “We need to remind families about pajama day. Choose a poster or story, then draw or dictate two details to include.”
