Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts · Writing Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects 6—12
What This Standard Means
Students need to write in a digital space, share their work, respond to comments, and revise as new evidence or viewpoints appear. They should know how to manage versions, cite online sources, collaborate without overwriting others, and publish work for a clear audience.
Mastery looks like a document, post, or presentation that changes for a reason, not just for spelling fixes. Students often get stuck treating feedback as optional, adding sources without checking credibility, or making edits that do not fit the claim or purpose.
Ways to Teach It
- Have pairs revise a shared Google Doc using comments, suggested edits, and a color key for evidence, reasoning, and source updates.
- Ask students to write a short reflection: Which piece of feedback changed your argument, and why did you accept or reject it?
- Give students three online sources and ask them to add one credible update to a paragraph, with a comment explaining the change.
- Show a public policy webpage with revision dates, then have students compare how updated information changes the message or recommendation.
