This book is meant to be used with the 1997 publication "Challenge Standards for Student Success: Language Arts" by providing additional student work to illustrate grade level standards. The works are intended to provoke discussion among teachers about whether or not a student has met the language arts standards and about what kind of student work constitutes meeting the standards. These examples were chosen by teachers throughout California. Each example consists of the actual student work, a statement relating the work to the standards, a graph showing which standards are being met, the assignment, a commentary about the student work, and, sometimes, teacher comments on the work. Student works are presented for each grade from kindergarten through eighth grade and also for the high school level. (EF)
