What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students conclude informative writing with a statement or section related to the explanation. The ending follows from developed information.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The student synthesizes the focus and key information in a clear closing. The conclusion avoids new or unrelated ideas.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may repeat the first sentence or stop abruptly. They may add opinion or new evidence.
How to Assess It
- Give a developed explanation without a conclusion. Ask students to write a related, synthesized ending.
