What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students reread a draft and judge whether it does what they intended for its audience and purpose. They use their own notes or another reader’s feedback to name what works and choose useful revisions.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can state the writing goal, point to parts of the draft that support it, and explain where the draft falls short. The student sorts relevant from irrelevant feedback and makes a revision that better serves the goal.
Common Misconceptions
- Students often treat evaluation as a hunt for spelling and punctuation errors instead of checking meaning and impact. They may accept every peer suggestion, reject feedback without considering it, or call a piece “good” without citing evidence.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: Provide a short paragraph meant to persuade classmates to recycle and one peer comment: “Add a reason.” Ask students to name one effective part and revise one sentence to meet the goal.

Ways to Teach It
Have students highlight in green the lines that meet their writing goal and place sticky notes where readers may need more.
Ask partners, “Which sentence best serves the writer’s purpose, and which sentence should change?” Require evidence from the draft.
Play Feedback Sort with cards labeled useful, unclear, or off-goal, then have teams justify where each sample comment belongs.
Compare two school event flyers, then revise the less effective one so families can quickly find the date, place, and reason to attend.
