A3.2 record and organize information and key ideas using a variety of formats (e.g., notes, graphic organizers, summaries, audio/digital records)
A3.3 analyse and interpret research information (e.g., compare results of surveys and interviews; determine whether common themes arise in different sources)
A3.4 demonstrate academic honesty by docu­ menting the sources of all information generated through research
A3.5 synthesize findings and formulate conclu­ sions (e.g., determine whether their results support or contradict their hypothesis; weigh and connect information to determine the answer to their research question)

A4.3 clearly communicate the results of their inquiries (e.g., write clearly, organize ideas logically, use language conventions properly), and follow appropriate conventions for acknowledging sources (e.g., MLA, Chicago, or Turabian style
for references and/or notes)
A4.4 demonstrate an understanding of the general research process by reflecting on and evaluating their own research, inquiry, and communication skills
