Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students decide what kind of text will best share their message with a particular person or group. They plan where pictures, words, and ideas will go before creating it.
What Mastery Looks Like: Students can choose a useful format, such as a card, list, sign, or story, for a given reader and purpose. They can sketch ideas in a clear order and explain their choice.
Common Misconceptions: Students may choose a favorite format without thinking about the purpose or reader. They may start drawing or writing immediately, then place ideas in a confusing order.
How to Assess It: Give this prompt: “Help a substitute understand our morning routine.” Have students choose a story, invitation, or ordered picture list, then sketch three steps.
