A3.2 record and organize information and key ideas using a variety of formats (e.g., notes, graphic organizers, summaries, audio/video/ digital records)

A4.3 clearly communicate the results of their inquiries (e.g., write clearly, organize ideas logically, use language conventions properly), and follow APA conventions for acknowledging sources (e.g., generate a reference list in APA style)
A4.4 demonstrate an understanding of the general research process by reflecting on and evaluating their own research, inquiry, and communication skills
Teacher prompts: “How did the primary
and/or secondary sources you used confirm what you already knew and understood about the topic? How did your sources contradict what you thought was true?” “How might your own beliefs about the topic have affected your research findings?” “What steps might you take to enhance your research/inquiry skills?”
