What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students compare printed and audio or video accounts of the same subject. They identify the details each account gives the most space, time, or attention, then point to evidence.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can name the main focus of each account without just listing facts. They can cite a line from the print account and a spoken or visual detail from the other account to support their comparison.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may spot different facts but miss that both accounts cover the same fact with different emphasis. They may describe a video's images without explaining which details those images draw attention to.
How to Assess It
- Display this printed notice: 'Starting Monday, bus pickup moves ten minutes earlier on routes with three new stops'; read aloud this radio update: 'Three new bus stops will shorten students' walks starting Monday.' Ask students to name the detail each account emphasizes and cite a phrase from each.
Lesson moves
Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a printed bus route notice and a 30-second recorded announcement; have them mark details that get extra space or time.
After reading the notice and hearing the announcement, ask, 'Which account stresses pickup times, and which stresses shorter walks?'
Play emphasis detective: read four short bus updates aloud, then have teams match each to a printed headline and explain their choice.
Compare a printed transit notice with a transit agency video about the same route change; students record which change each puts first.
