(21) Research/Gathering Sources. Students
determine, locate, and explore the full range of relevant sources addressing a
research question and systematically record the information they gather.
Students are expected to: (A) follow the research plan to compile data
from authoritative sources in a manner that identifies the major issues and
debates within the field of inquiry; (B) organize information gathered from
multiple sources to create a variety of graphics and forms (e.g., notes,
learning logs); and (C) paraphrase, summarize, quote, and
accurately cite all researched information according to a standard format
(e.g., author, title, page number).
(22) Research/Synthesizing Information. Students
clarify research questions and evaluate and synthesize collected information.
Students are expected to: (A) modify the major research question as
necessary to refocus the research plan; (B) evaluate the relevance of information to
the topic and determine the reliability, validity, and accuracy of sources
(including Internet sources) by examining their authority and objectivity; and (C) critique the research process at each
step to implement changes as the need occurs and is identified.
(23) Research/Organizing and Presenting Ideas.
Students organize and present their ideas and information according to the
purpose of the research and their audience. Students
are expected to synthesize the research into a written or an oral presentation
that:
(A) marshals evidence in support of a clear
thesis statement and related claims;
(B) provides an analysis for the audience
that reflects a logical progression of ideas and a clearly stated point of
view;
(C) uses graphics and illustrations to help
explain concepts where appropriate;
(D) uses a variety of evaluative tools (e.g.,
self-made rubrics, peer reviews, teacher and expert evaluations) to examine the
quality of the research; and
(E) uses a style manual (e.g., Modern
Language Association, Chicago Manual of Style) to document
sources and format written materials.
