What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students reread a draft and look closely for mistakes. They correct capitals, punctuation, spelling, spacing, and sentence structure so readers can understand the writing.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students use a checklist to find and fix errors in their own writing. They correct capitals, punctuation, spelling, spacing, and incomplete or run-on sentences.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think editing means rewriting the whole piece or only fixing spelling. They may add capitals and periods without checking whether each sentence is complete.
How to Assess It
- Give students this exit ticket: "on monday sam and i walkt to the park we played ball" Ask them to rewrite it correctly.
