Rationale for Student
Learning Objective
As we transition to the Common Core for writing, it is essential
that students gain mastery of a range of skills and applications
for each purpose for writing. In order to capture gains, students
should demonstrate increasing sophistication in all aspects of
language use, from vocabulary to the development and
organization of ideas. They should address increasingly
demanding content and sources.
