What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students read or view sources to understand a practical issue, compare possible responses, and select useful evidence. They create a clear message that proposes an action for a specific audience.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can separate relevant evidence from background details and explain how it supports a proposed response. The final text defines the issue, recommends a workable action, and adapts tone and format for the intended reader.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may treat personal opinion as enough, collect facts without linking them to a proposal, or choose interesting but irrelevant evidence. They may also ignore the audience, offer a vague solution, or overlook limits and tradeoffs.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short chart showing cafeteria food waste before and after a share-table program. Prompt: “Write a three-sentence recommendation to the principal using one chart detail and explain how your action addresses the problem.”

Ways to Teach It
Give teams source cards about cafeteria waste, then have them sort evidence, identify the problem, and build a one-page action proposal.
Ask whether phones should be allowed during lunch, then have students cite two class texts and write a focused recommendation for administrators.
Run an Evidence Match game where students pair claims with source excerpts, then reject weak or irrelevant matches.
Have students analyze local bus schedules and rider comments, then email a specific route change to the transit office.
