What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students report on a topic or text, tell a story, or recount an experience with relevant facts and descriptive details. They speak clearly at an understandable pace.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The student organizes a clear beginning, middle, and ending or central idea with support. Details fit the purpose, and listeners can follow the delivery.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may include every detail or jump between events. They may rush, speak too softly, or forget the main point.
How to Assess It
- Ask students to give a two-minute report, story, or recount with an organized sequence, three relevant details, and clear pacing.
