What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use a digital document to organize ideas, write a draft, and improve it after feedback. They work independently or share the document with classmates.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students create a plan, turn it into a clear digital draft, and make meaningful revisions. They use comments or shared documents without deleting a partner’s work.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may treat the first draft as finished or only fix spelling. They may overwrite a partner’s work, ignore comments, or confuse planning notes with a complete draft.
How to Assess It
- Have students open a short digital draft, add one planned detail, and revise one unclear sentence. Ask them to highlight both changes.
