develop drafts into a focused, structured, and coherent piece of writing by:
developing an engaging idea with relevant details;
Have students use an organizing structure to guide their writing. During one-on-one conferencing or in partner groups, have students explain orally what the main idea is for their text. Then have students explain how the details support the main idea. Guide students as they develop these aspects of their writing.
This SE requires students to support and elaborate on their ideas using facts and details. Students select facts and details that help a reader better understand the ideas they are attempting to convey.
