What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students plan a draft for a specific reader and goal. With feedback, they revise ideas, order, and wording, then fix errors that confuse readers.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can name their reader and explain what they want that reader to do or understand. They can add a reason, move a key detail, or rewrite an opening, and explain why the change helps.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think revision means fixing spelling only. They may add more words without checking whether those words help the reader. They may assume readers know details the draft leaves out.
How to Assess It
- Give students this draft for a principal: “Lunch is bad. We need better food. Please fix it.” Ask them to add one specific request and one reason, then explain how each change helps the principal.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs sentence strips from a club flyer; have them arrange the details for new students and add a clear invitation.
Compare “Give us a garden” with “A school garden could supply herbs for cooking class”; discuss which opening suits a principal and why.
Run a revision relay: teams improve a vague field trip request by adding a destination, a reason, and a polite closing.
Have students rewrite a library sign-up poster for incoming sixth graders, then check whether it says where and when to sign up.
