What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students reread a draft, identify weak spots, and make purposeful changes using their own judgment and feedback from others. They revise ideas, details, organization, word choice, and writing techniques to better reach the reader.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students select useful feedback and make meaningful changes to a draft’s content, order, details, language, or style. They can compare versions and explain how a change improves clarity or impact.
Common Misconceptions
- Students often think revision means fixing spelling, punctuation, or handwriting. They may accept every suggestion without judging it, or replace words without improving meaning, structure, or reader impact.
How to Assess It
- Use this exit ticket: Show one original passage, one piece of feedback, and your revised passage. Explain in one sentence how the revision helps the reader.
