Imagine you are an elementary teacher. The language arts curriculum you are using comes with activities and tests to go along with the objectives that they outline. Although you like the curriculum there are specific parts of it you do not need to cover, so you omit certain parts to fit in your classroom; however, you still plan to use the end of unit tests that are already made.
