I can integrate and present information from multiple sources to address a question or solve a problem.
Product Targets
I can write a research paper, complete with cited and synthesized sources and a works cited page.

Measurement
of Progress
Integration of Knowledge and Ideas (often taught in connection with speaking and writing)

Sample Activity
Advanced
In addition to expectations of proficiency, student provides consistent evidence of in-depth inferences and applications that go beyond what was taught and expected.
-
Proficient
The student can
when addressing a question or solving a problem,
evaluate multiple sources in different media or formats
choose details that offer the best support.
integrate reliable information within writing and speaking.
assess the logic or rationale in key foundational documents.
delineate and evaluate the reasoning and persuasive techniques within a text
analyze how texts within and/or across time periods treat similar topics; consider theme, purpose and rhetoric.
-
Progressing
There are no major errors or omissions regarding the simpler details and processes as the student:
evaluates, chooses, and integrates reliable information within writing and speaking.
identifies logic or rationale in various documents.
identifies reasoning and persuasive techniques.
determines themes, purposes, and rhetorical features.
recognizes or recalls specific terminology that relates to literature, such as:
However, the student exhibits major errors or omissions regarding the more complex ideas and processes.
-
Novice
With help, the student demonstrates a partial understanding of some of the simpler details and processes and some of the more complex ideas and processes.
