What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students write a conclusion that explains why the argument matters. They synthesize the claim and reasoning without merely repeating the introduction.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The conclusion follows from the argument and states a consequence, implication, or significance. It remains proportional to the evidence.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may restate the claim word for word. They may introduce new evidence or make an unsupported dramatic appeal.
How to Assess It
- Give a completed argument without a conclusion. Ask students to write a closing that explains its significance using only established ideas.
