What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students reread their drawings, labels, or sentences and decide what would help a reader understand. They add, remove, reorder, or replace ideas and words after self-checking or hearing feedback.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can reread a draft and identify one part that could be clearer or more interesting. The student makes a useful change and gives a simple reason for it.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think revising means fixing handwriting, capitals, or spelling only. They may add an unrelated detail, change everything after feedback, or believe feedback means their work is wrong.
How to Assess It
- Ask: “Reread your draft, make one change that helps your reader, then circle the change.” Have students explain why the change helps.
