Applying CBL to Common Core Language Arts College & Career “Portrait”
Students become self-directed learners, effectively seeking out and using resources to assist them. . . .
Students set and adjust purpose for reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language use as warranted by the task.
Students tailor their searches online to acquire useful information efficiently, and they integrate what they learn using technology with what they learn offline.
