Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students notice how stories, signs, lists, pictures, and recordings organize information in different ways. They choose and arrange words, pictures, or sounds to match what they are making.
What Mastery Looks Like: Students can point out how a picture book, sign, or recording presents ideas differently. They can arrange words, pictures, or events to fit a chosen kind of text.
Common Misconceptions: Students may think texts about the same topic should always look alike. They may treat pictures as decoration or place story events out of order.
How to Assess It: Give students three picture cards showing a familiar routine. Ask them to arrange the cards for a story, then explain where a title would go and why.

Lesson moves

Give pairs a picture book, menu, and sign, then have them sort labeled cards into the parts found in each text.
Ask, "How would you share playground rules in a book, poster, or recording?" Students draw one choice and explain it.
Play Text Builder by having students race to arrange title, picture, label, and sentence cards for a named text type.
Examine a school lunch menu, then let students design a one-day menu using headings, food pictures, and labels.
