 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 21px;">Illinois Common Core Standards
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">6-8.RST.3. Follow precisely a multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">6-8.RST.7. Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text with a version of that information expressed visually (e.g., in a flowchart, diagram, model, graph, or table)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">6-8.WHST.1.a. Introduce claim(s) about a topic or issue, acknowledge and distinguish the claim(s) from alternate or opposing claims, and organize the reasons and evidence logically
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">6-8.WHST.2.a. Introduce a topic clearly, previewing what is to follow; organize ideas, concepts, and information into broader categories as appropriate to achieving purpose; include formatting (e.g., headings), graphics (e.g., charts, tables), and multimedia when useful to aiding comprehension.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">6-8.WHST.2.f. Provide a concluding statement or section that follows from and supports the information or explanation presented.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">6-8.WHST.3.a. Note: Students' narrative skills continue to grow in these grades. The Standards require that students be able to incorporate narrative elements effectively into arguments and informative/explanatory texts. In science and technical subjects, students must be able to write precise enough descriptions of the step-by-step procedures they use in their investigations or technical work that others can replicate them and (possibly) reach the same results.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">6-8.WHST.6. Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and present the relationships between information and ideas clearly and efficiently.
