Plan how to support students so that missing knowledge doesn’t become the reason they do not achieve. |  |\n| Step 2: Set the context.\u003Cbr>1. What cultural experiences or communication patterns are important to know regarding your students? What do students bring to the table to connect with a task? |  |\n| 2. What is the context of the task? |  |\n| 3. What is the purpose of the task? |  |\n| 4. Who is the audience? Describe why they would care about this work. |  |\n| 5. What role do students play? |  |\n| 6. How does the task reflect multiple perspectives? How will students study multiple perspectives? |  |\n| 7. Does it reflect a strength-based view of culture as well as its tensions? |  |\n| Step 3: Design the task.\u003Cbr>1. Consider the required and desired cognitive level. Be sure requirements to complete the task meet the cognitive level. |  |\n| 2. Frame the context. |  |\n| 3. Frame the task, product, or presentation. |  |\n| 4. Describe the form the product or presentation should take. Students can have options (such as writing, presenting, video, poster, and so on), but take care that options do not change the learning goals. |  |\n| 5. Determine the instructional implications for preparing students for this task. Consider communication patterns and other background knowledge and experience. |  |\n\nThe Handbook for Design in Five © 2026 Solution Tree Press • [SolutionTree.com](SolutionTree.com)[ ](SolutionTree.com)[Visit](Visit go.SolutionTree.com/assessment)[ go.SolutionTree.com/assessment](Visit go.SolutionTree.com/assessment) to download this free reproducible.  \npage 1 of 2  \nREPRODUCIBLE  \n\n| Steps | Your Design |\n| --- | --- |\n| Step 4: Lay out the materials.\u003Cbr>1.
