What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students plan a draft and use feedback to make it clearer. They may move, cut, or add ideas, fix errors, or rewrite a section that is not working.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can spot a weak part of a draft, make a change based on feedback, and explain how it helps the reader. They check spelling and punctuation after working on the ideas.
Common Misconceptions
- Students often think revision means fixing only spelling and commas. Some add sentences without checking whether the new material helps their point.
How to Assess It
- Give students the draft 'School lunches should change' and the feedback 'Add one specific reason for the principal.' Ask them to rewrite the sentence and name the change they made.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a printed paragraph cut into sentence strips; have them reorder it, add a missing reason, and tape down the revision.
Show two versions of a class announcement and ask, 'Which version would help a new student more, and why?'
Play Revision Relay: teams draw a feedback card, revise a weak paragraph, then pass it to another team for a different fix.
Have students revise an email requesting a library book after you write, 'Name the book and explain who would read it,' on each draft.
