Virginia SOL 3.C.3

3.C.3 is a Standards of Learning standard. These are the knowledge and skills expectations under it.

• 3.C.3.A

  Create a simple presentation using multimodal tools that enhance the topic and/or presentation.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students combine speech or writing with images, sound, video, charts, or other media to share information. They choose tools that make the topic clearer rather than simply adding decoration.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students create a clear presentation with readable text and relevant images, audio, or video. They can explain how each chosen element helps the audience understand the topic.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may add pictures, sounds, or colors only for decoration. They may crowd slides with text, choose unrelated media, or read every word aloud.

04

How to Assess It

Ask students to make one slide about a favorite animal using a title, one fact, and one helpful image. Have them explain how the image supports the fact.

1. 01

   Give pairs a fact card, paper, markers, and printed images to build a poster that clearly teaches one main idea.

2. 02

   Show two sample slides and ask, "Which slide teaches the topic better, and what specific features make it clearer?"

3. 03

   Play Media Match by having students pair topic cards with images, sound clips, or charts that best support each topic.

4. 04

   Have students create a one-slide weather report with a map, temperature symbols, and a short spoken forecast for their community.
