 * Go here: http://www.k12.wa.us/CurriculumInstruct/EALR_GLE.aspx
 * Find the standards document for your subject area. Open the appropriate PDF. Find and read the EALRs.
 * 1. Copy the EALRs for your subject area. Find a visual to represent each one. (A good source for legal images: http://www.sxc.hu/)
 * 2. Select two grade levels to review. Copy three example GLE's for each grade. How do they connect with the EALRs?
 * 3. Go the website of the professional organization representing your subject area. (p. 48) Find any standards/curriculum documentation. Read enough to get a good feel for the curriculum advocated by this group. How do these standards compare with the EALRs and GLEs for Washington?
 * 4. How do the state and national standards compare with the Common Core (http://www.corestandards.org/the-standards)? What relationship do you see between these three sources of curriculum?
