What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students make and publish a digital piece, alone or with classmates, then update it after feedback or new information. They use links and features like embedded charts or jump links to help readers. They credit text, images, and data in suitable formats.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can publish a page with working source links and a chart that supports a claim. They can revise the claim after feedback, mark the update, and include a full source entry and an image credit.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think a hyperlink replaces a citation or that a free image needs no credit. They may treat publishing as the last step and leave outdated claims or broken links in place. Some add moving graphics that distract readers instead of helping them.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: In a shared Google Slide, students add a claim, a linked source, and a credited image. Have them revise the claim after one partner comment and submit a view-only link.
