What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use age-appropriate digital tools to draft, revise, format, and share writing for a clear audience. They work in shared spaces, give useful feedback, respond to others, and use online material responsibly.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students create clear, readable digital work and use tool features that fit their purpose. They give useful feedback, revise from comments, credit sources, and share work with the intended audience.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may treat spell-check as full revision or assume polished formatting means strong writing. They may copy online words or images without credit. They may think collaboration means one student does the typing while others watch.
How to Assess It
- In a shared document, have students post a brief response, leave one specific comment on a partner's draft, and revise once using feedback. Check the revision history for a clear change.

Ways to Teach It
Pair students in a shared document to draft a class announcement, add one image, revise wording, and publish it to the class page.
Discuss this prompt: When does a digital comment help a writer revise, and when is it too vague or unkind?
Run a revision relay where teams fix formatting, clarity, and citation problems in a shared document without overwriting one another's work.
Have students create and send a digital invitation for a real class event, then revise it after feedback from the recipient.
