What are the new North Dakota Anchor Standards in Writing?

Here are the new ND Anchor Standards in Writing and a link to the State Standards Document: https://www.nd.gov/dpi/uploads/87/ELALiteracyCS2017.pdf


College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Writing 6-12 The grades 6–12 standards on the following pages define what students should understand and be able to do by the end of each grade. They correspond to the College and Career Readiness (CCR) anchor standards below by number. The CCR and grade-specific standards are necessary complements—the former providing broad standards, the latter providing additional specificity—that together define the skills and understandings that all students must demonstrate.

Text Types and Purposes* (W 1-3)
 • Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.
 • Write informative/explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas and information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content.
• Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, well-chosen details, and well-structured event sequences.

Production, Distribution, and Range of Writing (W 4-6)
 • Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate for a range of tasks, purposes, and audiences. • Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach.
 • Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and to interact and collaborate with others.

Research to Build and Present Knowledge (W 7-9) 
• Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects based on focused questions, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.
• Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, assess the credibility and accuracy of each source, and integrate the information while avoiding plagiarism.
• Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
