The National Geographic Society, through the National Geographic Education division and the National Geographic Network of Alliances for Education, partnered with the National Council for Geographic Education to develop a resource outlining connections between the Geography for Life national geography standards and the Common Core English/Language Arts State Standards. The connections document is not designed as a curriculum, but illustrates where there are natural connections and provides models and exemplar activities.
The resource document can be downloaded at the National Geographic Education page: http://education.nationalgeographic.com/education/media/common-core-ela-geography-connections/?ar_a=1
