GRADES 6-8

Focus Areas
The learners will:

• begin to independently access a greater and more varied number of resources (print, non-print, electronic)
• continue development of personal criteria that they can describe in detail
• begin to examine and evaluate ideas and opinions using more than their immediate surroundings as a point of comparison, and to recognize bias and stereotypes independently
• resources for research, learn how to access these resources more efficiently, and begin to recognize the most appropriate resources (print, non-print, electronic) for specific tasks
• create products with progressively less direction, using a variety of formats (print, graphical, audio, video, multimedia) and begin using formally accepted standards for production, including crediting sources, acceptable formats, etc.
