We are about to print a new Sell Sheet for the updated edition of EcoFluxx, and I pulled some text from our web site that Carol wrote for us 4 years ago... I need confirmation that these standards have not changed in the last 4 years, or is the word "Correlation" fuzzy enough that I can say this regardless? My sister tells me that "Correlation" is a wiggle word... Here is what I have put on the Sell Sheet: ============================================= Key Selling Point * Correlation with National Science Standards for Interdependence of Organisms: Life Science Content Standard, Grades 5-8, 9-12. and in the yellow star burst "Correlation with National Science Standards!" ============================================= you can see the current draft of the sell sheet here: Can anyone confirm that it is ok to say this stuff about EcoFluxx? -Kristin Looney _______________________________________________ Edu mailing list Edu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.looneylabs.com/mailman/listinfo/edu
