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.
