What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students use digital media or visual displays to emphasize and enhance central ideas or themes. Media add clarity, impact, or useful evidence.

What Mastery Looks Like

The student selects a purposeful image, chart, or slide and explains its connection. The display enhances the main idea without crowding or distracting.

Common Misconceptions

Students may choose attractive but irrelevant media. They may repeat spoken text on slides or emphasize a minor point.

How to Assess It

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

Lesson moves

Ways to Teach It

  1. Redesign a cluttered slide around one central idea and one supporting visual.

  2. Ask students how a display adds meaning beyond spoken words.

  3. Play Media Purpose Match with central ideas and display choices.

  4. Create a visual for a class report on a community topic.
