What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students type a short piece, use basic editing tools, and save or share their work correctly. They respond to a partner’s feedback and make a useful revision with adult help.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can type and format a readable document, revise it, and save or share it in the assigned place. The student gives a helpful comment and uses feedback to improve a draft.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may treat a typed first draft as finished work or spend more time on fonts than revising ideas. They may leave vague comments, overwrite a partner’s work, or forget to save changes.
How to Assess It
- Ask students to type three sentences, correct one marked error, add a title, and share the file. Have them leave one specific comment on a partner’s draft.

Ways to Teach It
Have pairs type a paragraph in a shared document, then use highlighting and comments to suggest one clear revision.
Ask students to write: How did your partner’s comment help you improve your draft?
Play a keyboarding relay where students type, save, rename, and reopen a short sentence without changing its words.
Create a class newsletter with each student typing one item, reviewing a partner’s work, and helping prepare the final issue.
