01

What Students Need to Do

Students write narratives, explanations, arguments, and practical texts for named readers and clear goals. They gather ideas, plan, draft, reread, use feedback, revise content, and edit conventions as needed.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students can produce narratives, explanations, arguments, and practical texts that fit a named audience and purpose. Their revisions strengthen content and structure, while their edits improve clarity and correctness.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students often treat a first draft as finished or think every piece must follow the same fixed steps. They may confuse revision, which improves ideas and organization, with editing, which corrects sentences and conventions.

04

How to Assess It

Ask students to write a six-sentence announcement persuading classmates to attend a book swap. Have them submit a quick plan, a draft, and two labeled revisions.

1. 01

   Give pairs a rough paragraph, colored pens, and revision cards directing them to add evidence, reorder ideas, clarify wording, and correct errors.

2. 02

   Ask students to explain which writing step helps them most, which they skip, and how that choice affects the finished piece.

3. 03

   Run a revision relay where teams improve one draft in rounds focused on ideas, organization, word choice, sentences, and conventions.

4. 04

   Have students write the same event announcement for classmates and the principal, changing details, tone, and format for each reader.
