Sending parameters for filtering

I have a many-to-many table I have standards that I want to assign to
resources. In my form I have spit the form into two pages. The first
page gets most of the information about the resource and stuff and I
want it to send two parameters to the next page so I can “filter” out
some of the standards.

I have this:

@resource = Resource.new(params[:resource])

@resource.tag_with(@params[:tags])

if @resource.save

  flash[:notice] = 'Resource was successfully created.'

  redirect_to :action => 'new_continued', :level => @params[:level],

:subject => @params[:contentarea]

But when I check my development log I see this:

SELECT * FROM core_contents WHERE (level = NULL AND subject = NULL)

How do I fix this?
