What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students reread a draft and compare it with their reason for writing. They use their own judgment and feedback from others to identify what works and what needs changing.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students can explain how a specific sentence or detail helps the writing do its job. They can use self-review or peer feedback to name one useful change and explain why it would help.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may focus only on spelling and handwriting instead of whether the message is clear. They may accept every suggestion or describe writing only as “good” or “bad.” They may also forget to compare the draft with its original purpose.
How to Assess It
- Ask students to reread a draft, underline one part that supports its purpose, and star one part that needs work. Have them complete: “My writing does its job because ___.”
