What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students provide a conclusion related to the argument. The ending follows from the developed claim, reasons, and evidence.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The student synthesizes the main position and explains a relevant implication or next thought. The conclusion avoids new unsupported reasons.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may copy the thesis or end with a generic appeal. They may introduce new evidence.
How to Assess It
- Give a complete argument without a conclusion. Ask students to write a related ending using only developed ideas.
