EGUSD Publishing Standards
| |
It is the intent
that all published works, done by the students in the Elk Grove
Unified School District, be of the highest quality. The process
of editing for publication encourages students to meet the Elk Grove
Unified School District standards, assume responsibility for continuous
self-editing, and develop pride in their work. Throughout the writing
process students are encouraged to produce work which reflects original
thought and expression.
