What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students set a reading or writing goal, choose strategies and materials, and monitor their own progress. They adjust their plan and seek specific help when needed.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Given an open task, a student makes a plan, chooses useful strategies and resources, and finishes on time. The student uses feedback when needed and identifies a specific next step.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think independence means working alone or refusing feedback. They may also begin without a plan, wait for teacher approval at every step, or treat choice as freedom from deadlines.
How to Assess It
- Use an exit ticket: “State your goal, one choice you made without teacher direction, evidence of progress, and your next step.”

Ways to Teach It
Give students planning cards to arrange a reading or writing process, work for ten minutes, then revise one card based on progress.
Discuss: When does asking for help support independence, and when does it replace your own decision making?
Play Strategy Swap: students draw a common reading or writing problem, choose a response strategy, and explain why it fits.
Have students plan a college, workplace, or community writing task with a deadline, checkpoints, resources, and a method for tracking progress.
