Hi,Gretchen!
Are you quoting the curriculum commmitee draft of the language arts
standards? It seems to me that the "standards" or "outcomes" are not
listed in logical order and that the description of the "standards"
lacks clarity. For instance, does "use active voice" mean that the
students should use *only* the active voice, or they should *give
priority* to the use of the active voice?
