What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students provide a conclusion related to the argument. The ending follows from the claim, reasons, and evidence.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The student synthesizes the position and gives clear closure. The conclusion stays connected and avoids new unsupported information.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may repeat the opening word for word. They may add a new reason or generic appeal.
How to Assess It
- Give a developed argument without an ending. Ask students to write a related conclusion using established ideas.
