01

What Students Need to Do

Students use writing to share information, tell about events, or express an idea for a clear audience and purpose. They organize connected sentences, add details, and check their work so readers can understand it.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students write several connected sentences that stay on one topic and make sense to a reader. They add useful details, use basic conventions, and revise at least one part for clarity.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may write unrelated sentences, omit needed details, or assume the reader already knows the situation. They may also skip capitals, punctuation, spacing, or rereading because they think a first draft is finished.

04

How to Assess It

Give this exit ticket: “Write three connected sentences telling how to make a sandwich. Include an opening sentence, clear steps, capitals, and punctuation.”

1. 01

   Give pairs picture cards showing a simple event, then have students order them and write one connected sentence for each card.

2. 02

   Ask students to write: “What makes writing easy for someone else to understand?” Then share examples of clear details.

3. 03

   Play Sentence Fix-Up with cards containing missing capitals, punctuation, or unclear words, and have teams rewrite each sentence correctly.

4. 04

   Have students write a short note to the librarian requesting a book, including the title, reason, greeting, and closing.
