  • develop need-to-know questions (or sub questions) that will help them answer their primary or driving question.
  • access and evaluate credible and reliable sources from multiple print and digital sources.
  • determine what path research needs to take in order to answer the driving question and understand when the original focus might need to change because of the information found. 
  • draw evidence from what he/she has read to support research.
  • integrate and synthesize information without plagiarizing.
  • cite sources and weave information into his/her own work by paraphrasing, summarizing, or directly quoting source.

  • understand the criteria for selecting credible sources and can (a majority of the time), apply those criteria when finding own sources.
  • stays on focus with research, but often cannot see when research should/could take a different path.
  • draw evidence from what has been read, but not all evidence is relative or supportive of driving question.
  • use information but is unable to blend or synthesize various sources to support a reason.
  • generalize use of sources in a bibliography or reference page, but is not able to consistently cite sources appropriately within the paper or presentation.
  • write or present research answers to driving question.
