Sounds a bit advanced for tenth grade.

Also, it is off in one regard. There should be an analysis of prior critical examination wrt outcomes. Every one on the "five aspects" have been considered extensively but there is no consideration of the resulting scientific consensus and the reasoning behind it.

There's been a bunch of threads on this, I'm just posting the actual document that will be used by Ohio teachers. It was in pdf format, which is a pain to work with, so I cut and pasted it into html. It doesn't look as good as it did in my editor, but at least you can read it without acrobat.

They are state curriculum guides...they always will be a lot more advanced than what is in the classroom.

I look at the KS history standards and have to laugh...we don't get to half that stuff until college.

But you can't do that and teach ID/creationism (persuasively). This is exactly what the choice comes down to.
