What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students prepare a finished piece for specific readers. They choose suitable words, details, tone, layout, and a way to share the work.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can produce a clean, complete final copy with few errors. The format, tone, vocabulary, details, and method of sharing fit the intended readers.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think publishing means submitting the first complete draft. They may also change only the font or images without adjusting the language, details, or tone for readers.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short paragraph written for teachers. Ask them to revise and format it for incoming sixth graders, then name two choices they made for that audience.
