What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students compare a written text with an audio, filmed, staged, or digital version. They analyze how techniques unique to each medium shape the portrayal of a subject.

What Mastery Looks Like

The student cites a specific written choice and a medium-specific technique such as sound, framing, performance, or pacing. The analysis explains different effects on meaning or audience.

Common Misconceptions

Students may list content differences without analyzing medium techniques. They may judge an adaptation only by whether it copies every detail.

How to Assess It

Provide a written scene and a short audio, filmed, staged, or digital version. Ask students to compare one technique unique to each medium and explain its effect on the portrayal.
