What Students Need to Do

Students write for a clear purpose and audience. They organize ideas, add relevant details, choose suitable words, and revise for clarity, grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

What Mastery Looks Like

A student writes a focused piece with a clear beginning, logical sequence, and purposeful ending. Details support the main idea, transitions connect ideas, and revisions improve clarity and correctness.
