Describe how imagery, literal/figurative language (e.g., simile) and sound devices (e.g., onomatopoeia) achieve purposes.
Teachers can use 3.10D to sequence instruction on Language & imagery and monitor progress toward mastery.
With 3.10D, Grade 3 students practice Language & imagery in multiple representations and contexts.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 3.10D.
Standard 3.10D describes the essential skills and understandings for Language & imagery in Grade 3. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Language & imagery, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
Use short exit tickets and tasks where students explain decisions, show multiple representations, or justify answers—directly aligned to 3.10D.
