The Common Core State Standards are a set of learning goals for English language arts and mathematics that have been adopted by more than 40 states, including Alabama. The standards were developed to ensure the understanding of what is being taught at each grade level, which will prepare students for life after high school. Though there are some who argue against them or question their efficacy, most educators find them useful in helping kids understand what they need to know.
The Common Core State Standards are guidelines for all public school students in grades K-12. They provide learning objectives, skills to be addressed, and indicators of what is expected. This curriculum has been implemented by the majority of US states since 2010.

20 reflection questions to help students respond to Common Core texts.
The Common Core standards represent a shift in traditional English language instruction in the middle grades of American public schools (K-12). While there are several differences in the new standards, one of the most interesting (besides the expectation of technology integration) is the trend to move from literary texts to nonfiction texts.

On an international level, social and political developments have changed the way we think about communication in general, especially through social media.

About: Author’s purpose, author’s style, characterization, etc. Actually a middle level of Bloom’s taxonomy.
