9. Employ a variety of reading strategies to deeply comprehend grade level text.

• Evidences a conversation with the text through (with minor prompting):

-asking questions of the text and one’s own thinking;

- Employs pre, during, and post reading strategies

- summarizes text to clarify meaning

-uses “fix-up”strategies to clarify meaning when comprehension breaks down

• Without prompting, student continuously evidences a conversation with the text.

3. Contribute ideas and evidence in a small group or whole group discussion that builds upon and extends the ideas and evidence of others.

• “ piggy back” on others’ ideas by summarizing what was said;

• specifically refers to a place in the text (or visual) for others to follow;

• Shows respect by making eye contact and listening as others speak without interrupting.

and…

8. Analyze the validity of sources when conducting sustained or short term research.

• identify the source and author and any biases

• distinguish between primary and secondary sources;

• analyze multiple sources (websites, listserves, newspaper, magazine, books, etc…) to  identify strengths and limitations of various sources in relation to your thesis statement.

• Can teach others how to do this.

• incorporate critique of source(s) in body of proposal; or in notetaking guide

17(a) Prewriting:  Combining important information from multiple sources to build a research paper.

• choose direct quotes that will be used to support their ideas and claims.

• paraphrase an author’s words by clearly explaining what the author means while using your own words and a different sentence structure

• summarizing the main ideas of a source

• Can teach others to do this.

• States own assumptions (beliefs) in underlying  research and documents support for and/or any challenges to these assumptions as research progresses
