What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do

What Mastery Looks Like
- The student closes with the central understanding or implication in fresh words. No new unsupported material appears.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may repeat the introduction or add opinion. They may end after the last fact.
How to Assess It
