Writing
Content Standard: The student will develop the structural and creative skills
necessary to produce written language that can be read and interpreted by
various audiences.
Goal Statement: Writing is a life-long interactive process that is used to
communicate with a variety of audiences and for a variety of purposes,
adapting language conventions appropriately according to context. Writing is
an act of discovery, a means of personal growth, and a tool for clarifying
knowledge. To accomplish writing tasks more effectively, students need
exposure to a variety of strategies in order to approach writing
systematically, such as those included in the stages of the writing process.

Reading
Content Standard: The student will develop the reading skills necessary for
word recognition, comprehension, interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and
appreciation of the written text.
Goal Statement: Reading is a lifelong process which builds on language
development. Students must apply a wide range of strategies to enhance the
reading process. They improve their comprehension of printed information and
gain knowledge of themselves as world citizens through varied experiences
with literature. As students respond to texts individually and share in
literary communities, they become critical readers and experience increased
comprehension and personal satisfaction.

Viewing and Representing
Content Standard: The student will use, read, and view media/technology and
analyze content and concepts accurately.
Goal Statement: Visual communication is becoming an essential element of
today's rapidly changing technological society, and students must be prepared
for the demands they will face in the twenty-first century. Students must
learn how to communicate effectively using visual media for specific purposes
and audiences. Furthermore, as consumers, they must develop the skills to
discern and evaluate the persuasive devices inherent in multimedia and
technology. Educators must provide students with the necessary tools to
function productively in tomorrow's world.
--------------------------------------
Speaking and Listening
Content Standard: The student will express ideas clearly and effectively in a
variety of oral contexts and apply active listening skills in the analysis
and evaluation of spoken ideas.
Goal Statement: Throughout their lives, students will communicate through
speaking and listening as informed individuals, as employees and co-workers,
and as family and community members. When students explore the connections
such as audience, speaker, purpose, and form, they become more versatile and
confident in the choices they make as language users.
