What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students judge how well a draft achieves its purpose and writing goals. They use self-review and feedback from others to choose useful revisions and explain those choices.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students can point to specific parts of a draft that support or distract from its purpose. They can use relevant feedback, reject unhelpful feedback, and explain how revisions improve the text.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may treat proofreading as full evaluation and focus only on grammar. They may accept every peer comment without checking it against their goal. They may also confuse personal preference with evidence about effectiveness.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: Students review a short draft and its stated purpose. They identify one effective part and propose one revision that better serves the purpose.

Ways to Teach It
Students color-code a printed draft, marking claims, evidence, and audience cues, then circle any section that does not serve the writing goal.
Ask, “Which paragraph best serves your purpose, and which one needs revision?” Students answer with quoted evidence from their own drafts.
Run a feedback sort where teams label comment cards use, adapt, or decline, then justify each choice against a stated writing goal.
Compare two college application responses and decide which better answers the prompt, using a checklist for purpose, audience, and goals.
