What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students turn a revised draft into a finished piece for specific readers. They make final choices about wording, correctness, design, format, and where the piece will appear.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students produce a clean, complete final copy with few errors. They choose a suitable format, tone, visuals, and sharing method for the intended readers.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think publishing means submitting a first draft or posting it online. They may overlook audience needs, final editing, layout, titles, and source credits.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short draft and ask them to prepare it for the school website. Have them revise the title, tone, layout, and errors, then explain two choices.
