All students must have the opportunities and resources to develop the language
skills they need to pursue life’s goals and to participate fully as informed,
productive members of society, so that:

spelling and punctuation), media techniques, figurative language, and genre to
create, critique, and discuss print and nonprint texts.
8 Students use a variety of technological and information resources (e.g.
libraries, databases, computer networks, video) to gather and synthesize
information and to create and communicate knowledge.
