What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students include digital media or visual displays that emphasize central ideas or themes. They choose elements that focus audience attention on meaning.

What Mastery Looks Like

The student selects a relevant display and explicitly connects it to the central idea or theme. The media enhances rather than distracts.

Common Misconceptions

Students may add decorative images. They may emphasize a minor detail or show media without explaining its connection.

How to Assess It

Ask students to add one visual or digital element to a brief presentation and explain how it emphasizes the central idea or theme.

Lesson moves

Ways to Teach It

  1. Match central ideas with images, charts, or simple slides that emphasize them.

  2. Ask students what the audience should notice first and why.

  3. Play Central Idea Visual Match with relevant and distracting options.

  4. Create a display for a class report or story theme.
