Student Learning Targets:

Knowledge Targets

  • I can define various formats of information (e.g., visual, quantitative, text).

Reasoning Targets

  • I can evaluate multiple sources in difference media or formats to find quality information in order to answer a question or solve a problem.
  • I can analyze each source of information checking for relevance and reliability.
  • I can answer or solve the question or problem, citing and synthesizing information from multiple sources.

Skills (Performance) Targets

  • I can formulate a driving question or problem that demands research.
  • I can select appropriate source material to use to answer a question or solve a problem. 
  • I can develop organizational strategies (e.g., note taking, comparison charts, Venn Diagrams, thinking maps) to integrate multiple sources of information.
  • 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.
  • I can create a presentation that answers a question or solves a problem by synthesizing various credible sources.

Proficiency Scale

Measurement

of Progress

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

  • RI 11-12.7 Analyze and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in different media or formats (e.g., visuals, videos, tables, charts, and graphs), including written text.
  • RI 11-12.8 Delineate and evaluate a text’s argumentative reasoning and persuasive techniques, including emotional appeals and establishing credibility.

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:

    • rhetoric, delineate, supporting evidence, persuasive techniques, ethos, pathos, logos

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. -
