What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students conclude informative writing by explaining the significance of the information presented. The ending follows from the developed content.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The conclusion synthesizes key ideas and states why they matter. It avoids unrelated claims and new evidence.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may summarize every fact or repeat the introduction. They may introduce a dramatic implication unsupported by the text.
How to Assess It
- Give an explanation without an ending. Ask students to write a conclusion that synthesizes information and explains significance.
