What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students draft and share writing in a digital document. They use comments, new information, and counterarguments to revise their work before publishing it.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can revise a claim when new evidence challenges it. They can show the change in the document and reply to the comment that prompted it.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may fix spelling but leave a weak claim untouched. They may add new facts without noticing that those facts contradict their claim, or accept a peer's edit without checking it.
How to Assess It
- Post a sample report in a shared document with the claim, 'School water use rose every year,' and a comment saying, 'The latest meter reading shows a drop.' Ask students to revise the claim and reply to the comment with their reason.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs printed cafeteria waste tallies to sort, then have them draft a claim in a shared document and revise it after receiving a new tally.
Have students read a peer's counterargument and comment on which sentence in the draft needs revision and why.
Play comment triage: give teams a shared draft and five comments, then award points for edits that address evidence rather than grammar alone.
Have pairs draft a letter to the principal about cafeteria waste, trade comments with another pair, and revise the letter before sending it.
