English Language Arts Standards
English: W.7.3 A
Engage and orient the reader by establishing a context and point of view and introducing a narrator and/or characters; organize an event sequence that unfolds naturally and logically.
English: W.7.3 B
Use narrative techniques, such as dialogue, pacing, and description, to develop experiences, events, and/or characters.
English: W.7.3 C
Use a variety of transition words, phrases, and clauses to convey sequence and signal shifts from one time frame or setting to another.
English: W.7.3 D
Use precise words and phrases, relevant descriptive details, and sensory language to capture the action and convey experiences and events.
English: W.7.3 E
Provide a conclusion that follows from and reflects on the narrated experiences or events.
English: W.7.7
Conduct short research projects to answer a question, drawing on several sources and generating additional related, focused questions for further research and investigation.
English: W.7.10
Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research, reflection, and revision) and shorter time frames (a single sitting or a day or two) for a range of discipline-specific tasks, purposes, and audiences.

Mathematics Standards
Math: 7.SP 1
Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population; generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences.
Math: 7.RP
Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
Math: 7.EE 3
Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically
Math: 7.EE 4
Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.
Math: 7.G 6
Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, volume and surface area of two- and three-dimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms.
