      Note to educators:

      The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) have been adopted by 46 states as their education standards. Pick and Draw can support the standards in many ways. For updated information on the standards, see www.corestandards.org.

      The CCSS is divided into two levels: the Anchor Standards and the grade level standards. The Anchor Standards lay out what a high school graduate should know and be able to do. The grade level standards express the Anchor Standards in grade-appropriate, developmental and sequential skills for that specific grade.

      To provide a correlation of specific skills that the PAD can help teach, it is impossible to discuss every grade level. Instead, we will identify appropriate Anchor Standards. Teachers will need to drill down to the grade level standards to determine specific lesson goals.

      READING—There’s no reading for PAD, so this doesn’t apply.

      WRITING—These Anchor Standards will apply when PAD is used as a prewriting strategy or a revision strategy as the students produce a written narrative.

      #3. Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective techniques, well-chosen details and well-structured event sequences.

      #4. Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization and style are appropriate to the task, purpose and audience.

      #5. Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting or trying a new approach.

      #10. Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research, reflection and revision) and shorter time frames (a single sitting or a day or two) for a range of tasks, purposes and audiences.

      SPEAKING AND LISTENING—These Anchor Standards will apply to the PAD lessons in general as students listen to instructions, work and collaborate on projects and produce presentations based on the PAD work. Of course, the PAD work adds to a student’s skills in creating visual displays.

      #1. Prepare for and participate effectively in a range
