What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students provide a concluding statement or section that explains an argument’s significance. The ending grows from the developed reasoning and evidence.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The conclusion synthesizes major reasoning and identifies an implication, consequence, or importance. It avoids new claims unsupported by the body.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may repeat the introduction or end with a generic appeal. They may exaggerate significance beyond what evidence supports.
How to Assess It
- Give a complete argument without a conclusion. Ask students to write a proportionate ending that synthesizes reasoning and explains significance.
