What This Standard Means
Students need to use digital tools to write, revise, publish, and update their work. They should know how to collaborate in a shared document, add useful links, organize information clearly, and choose formats that fit the purpose, such as headings, images, tables, comments, or embedded media.
Mastery looks like a polished digital piece that is easy to navigate, revised over time, and supported by links or media that add value. Students often get stuck adding links without purpose, relying on flashy design, or treating publishing as a final upload instead of an ongoing revision process.
Ways to Teach It
- Have students turn a draft into a Google Doc article with headings, hyperlinks, one image, and a short revision history note.
- Ask students to explain which link or digital feature most improves their piece and why it helps the reader.
- Check one paragraph for a working hyperlink, a clear heading, and evidence of revision from teacher or peer feedback.
- Show students a news article webpage, then have them identify how links, images, captions, and layout guide the reader.
