What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students include digital media or visual displays that emphasize important facts or details. They select media that directs audience attention purposefully.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The student chooses a relevant image, chart, or slide and explains the emphasized detail. The display supports rather than replaces speaking.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may add decoration or choose a visual unrelated to the key fact. They may read the display without explaining it.
How to Assess It
- Ask students to add one visual or digital element to a short report and explain which fact it emphasizes and why.
