What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students review a draft to decide whether it achieves its purpose and writing goals. They use their own observations and feedback from others to identify strengths and needed changes.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students can point to specific words, details, organization, or evidence and explain how each supports or weakens the intended purpose. They use self-review and feedback to make targeted revisions.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may treat editing grammar as the same as evaluating effectiveness. They may accept every peer suggestion without checking whether it supports their purpose, audience, and goals.
How to Assess It
- Give students a draft paragraph and a stated purpose. Ask them to identify one effective choice, one weakness, and one revision that better serves the purpose.

Ways to Teach It
Have students color-code a printed draft for purpose, audience, evidence, and organization, then mark one section that needs revision.
Ask students to write: Which feedback best supports your writing goal, and which suggestion would you reject? Explain both choices.
Give groups revision cards and a sample draft, then have them rank each proposed change from most useful to least useful.
Students revise a request email to a principal, checking whether tone, details, and organization support the desired response.
