What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students include digital media or visual displays that clarify information and emphasize central ideas or themes. They choose elements for a specific explanatory purpose.

What Mastery Looks Like

Each image, chart, slide, or clip makes an idea clearer or more memorable. The speaker labels and explains the display instead of using it as decoration.

Common Misconceptions

Students may add crowded slides or unrelated images. They may read visible text aloud without showing how the media supports the central idea.

How to Assess It

Ask students to add one visual or digital element to a short presentation and explain exactly how it clarifies or emphasizes a central idea.

Lesson moves

Ways to Teach It

  1. Redesign a cluttered slide so one visual supports one central idea.

  2. Ask students when a visual clarifies information rather than decorates it.

  3. Play Media Purpose Match with presentation goals and display choices.

  4. Create a chart or image for a class report on a local topic.
