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.
