01

What Students Need to Do

Students create and share presentations or digital pieces that combine writing or speech with visuals, audio, video, or data. They choose formats for a specific audience and purpose, evaluate media choices, and combine several sources into a summary or position. They use technology responsibly and credit sources.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students produce a clear presentation or piece in which words, visuals, audio, and data work together for a specific audience. They judge sources by authorship, content, format, audience, and purpose. They combine information accurately, cite borrowed material, and explain their design choices.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat images, audio, and charts as decoration rather than evidence. They may copy media without checking authorship, accuracy, permission, or bias. They may summarize each source separately instead of combining information into one clear position.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a short article, chart, and 60-second audio clip on one issue. Ask for a 100-word position that combines all three, cites each source, and explains one format choice.

1. 01

   Give pairs an article, graph, and audio clip, then have them build and present one slide that combines evidence from all three.

2. 02

   Ask students to compare two posts about the same event and explain how audience, author, format, and purpose shape each message.

3. 03

   Play Source Match: teams pair claims with provided images, quotations, or charts, earning points only when they justify relevance and credibility.

4. 04

   Have students create a public service post for a school issue using one statistic, one image, a caption, and source credits.
