** CCSS ELA/Literacy Writing Standards Organization ** The 10 anchor standards for writing in the CCSS for English Language Arts/Literacy are grouped into four sections. For each section, I’ll give a brief explanation of the standards and indicate how many writing anchor standards are contained in each section. Additional descriptions and details are available in the standards document.
 * 1) **Text Types and Purposes:** There are three modes of writing: argumentative, informative/explanatory, and narrative. Depending on the mode, students analyze topics or texts, convey complex ideas, and/or develop real or imagined experiences or events. (3 standards)
 * 2) **Production and Distribution of Writing:** Students produce and distribute writing in a variety of ways. They produce clear and coherent writing; plan, revise, edit, and rewrite; and use technology to publish their work and to collaborate. (3 standards)
 * 3) **Research to Build and Present Knowledge:** Students focus on conducting and writing about research. They conduct a range of research projects, use relevant information culled from a variety of sources, and use evidence gathered from literary and informational texts to support their research. (3 standards)
 * 4) **Range of Writing:** Students must write routinely for a range of audiences and purposes. Their writing experience should include a variety of assignment lengths and project types. (1 standard)
