What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students use digital media or visual displays to clarify claims and findings and emphasize salient points. They select and design media around audience understanding.

What Mastery Looks Like

The display makes a key claim, finding, or relationship easier to follow. The presenter directs attention to relevant evidence without crowding or distracting.

Common Misconceptions

Students may add decorative media unrelated to the argument. They may overload slides or assume a chart explains itself.

How to Assess It

Ask students to create one slide or visual for a claim-and-evidence presentation. Require a statement explaining what it clarifies and emphasizes.

Lesson moves

Ways to Teach It

  1. Revise a cluttered slide to feature one salient claim and one labeled visual.

  2. Ask students which visual choice best clarifies the evidence.

  3. Play Display Design Match with claims, audiences, and media options.

  4. Create an infographic panel for a community issue presentation.
