Hi,

Our curriculum committee just presented us with a draft of the language arts standards for our private school. Here are my seventh grade grammar standards:

1. Place modifiers properly and use the active voice.

2. Identify and use infinitives and participles and make clear references between pronouns and antecedents.

3. Identify all parts of speech and types and structure of sentences.

4. Demonstrate the mechanics of writing (e.g., quotation marks, commas at the end of dependent clauses) and appropriate English usage (e.g. pronoun reference).

Anyone have any comments on these?

Thanks,

Gretchen
