Use technology, including the Internet, to produce, publish, and update individual or shared writing products in response to ongoing feedback, including new arguments or information.

What This Standard Means

Students need to use digital tools to write, share, revise, and publish work. They should be able to manage versions, respond to comments, add links or media when useful, and update a piece when new evidence or a stronger argument appears.

Mastery looks like a clean final product with a clear revision trail. Students can explain why they changed a claim, paragraph, source, or design choice. They often get stuck treating feedback as proofreading only, ignoring comments, using weak online sources, or making changes without improving the argument.

Ways to Teach It

  • Have students revise a shared Google Doc op-ed using teacher comments, peer comments, and two newly provided sources.
  • Prompt students to write a short reflection explaining which digital feedback they accepted, rejected, or changed, and why.
  • Check one paragraph’s version history and ask students to name one meaningful revision and the feedback or source that caused it.
  • Show a news article that was updated after new information, then have students compare the first and latest versions.
