What Students Need to Do

Students use a brief scene to introduce an idea or support a claim. They choose a point of view, put events in order, add details or dialogue, and explain why the scene matters.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can support a claim about later school starts with a short scene of someone falling asleep during a quiz. The events are easy to follow, the details support the claim, and the ending makes the connection clear. The student cuts details that distract from that point.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may write a long story that crowds out their main point. They may add details that do not help, jump in time without a cue, or end the scene without saying why it matters.
