What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students provide a conclusion related to the information or explanation. The ending follows from and synthesizes the developed topic.

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

Give a developed explanation without an ending. Ask students to write a related, synthesized conclusion.
