What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use an outline to decide where claims, examples, facts, and quotations belong. They select the strongest material, emphasize it, and remove details that do not serve the purpose.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can place each claim, example, and source detail in the section where it belongs. The student can feature the strongest evidence and explain why weaker or unrelated material should move or be cut.
Common Misconceptions
- Students often keep every research note because it seems interesting, even when it does not support the purpose. They may place details wherever space is available or treat all evidence as equally strong.
How to Assess It
- Give students a three-part outline and six research notes, including two off-topic notes. Ask them to place the useful notes, cut the others, and star the strongest evidence.

Ways to Teach It
Have groups sort color-coded research notes onto a paper outline, then circle the two details that best support each section.
Ask students to choose the best opening detail from three options and write two sentences explaining why it deserves that position.
Play Keep, Move, Cut with evidence cards, awarding a point when students defend each choice using the outline and writing purpose.
Have students organize customer reviews for a mock product recommendation, then feature the two details most likely to persuade a buyer.
