What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students draft, revise, and publish a history, science, or technical piece using a shared document. They exchange specific comments, link to supporting information, and use tables or charts to help readers.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student makes a clear edit based on a partner's comment and gives feedback the partner can use. Their finished piece has working source links and a chart or table that clarifies the evidence.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think typing in a shared document counts as collaboration, even if no one responds to feedback. They may paste links without explaining what the source supports or add charts that do not match the numbers.
How to Assess It
- Put 'Light helps plants grow' in a shared document, and put 'More light: 8 cm; less light: 4 cm' in a separate sheet. Have students link the sheet, revise the claim, and comment on a peer's revision.

Ways to Teach It
Pairs enter class lab results in a shared sheet, insert its linked chart into a report, then update one value to see the chart change.
Display 'The town doubled in size' beside the same sentence linked to a census table, and ask which claim readers can verify.
Run a comment swap on a shared lab report: partners flag one vague claim, suggest an edit, revise, and resolve each comment.
Use a posted town council agenda to draft an issue brief with links to meeting notes and a timeline of upcoming votes.
