Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.27 Medium & Modality skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Students are writing a balanced report about ocean plastic. Their source set includes a long article, an infographic of major trash categories, a photo gallery of polluted beaches, and an interview with a marine scientist. If they can keep only three sources, which combination is best for a balanced report?

Athe photo gallery, a slogan, and the infographic

Bthe article, the infographic, and the scientist interview

Cthe photo gallery, a title page, and the article

Dthe infographic, a logo, and the photo gallery

Solution & Explanation:The article adds context, the infographic organizes key data, and the scientist interview provides expert explanation. The photo gallery is powerful, but it is less essential than those three for a balanced report.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A campus parking redesign page includes a before-and-after drawing, a chart of survey responses, and a memo explaining safety and traffic tradeoffs. Which evaluation is strongest?

AThe drawing alone is enough to understand every tradeoff.

BThe chart replaces the need for any explanation of safety concerns.

CThe memo is only useful if no visual or data is included.

DThe drawing helps readers visualize the redesign, the chart shows public opinion, and the memo explains the reasoning behind the plan.

Solution & Explanation:Each medium serves a different purpose: visualization, opinion data, and explanation. Together they offer a more balanced understanding than any one medium alone.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A town website about snow closures uses a live status banner, a route map, and an article about how plowing decisions are made. During a fast-moving storm, which element should staff update first, and why?

Athe article, because readers care most about background during an emergency

Bthe route map, because routes never change

Cthe live status banner, because it gives the most immediate closure information

Dthe site logo, because branding is urgent

Solution & Explanation:In a fast-changing situation, the most urgent need is the current status. The live banner provides the quickest answer to whether schools or routes are closed now.
