What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students create and publish a media message for a specific audience. They make a claim, present findings in a logical order, and choose words and visuals that fit their readers or viewers.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students create a clear claim and arrange supporting findings in an order that makes sense. Their words, tone, details, and media choices fit the intended audience. The published message is clear and polished.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may use the same tone and details for every audience. They may add decorative visuals that do not support the claim. Some list facts without a clear claim or logical order.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: Create a one-slide message for incoming sixth graders claiming the library is useful. Include two ordered facts, a fitting visual, and a conclusion.
