support their understanding. (E3.9A, E3.9B, E3.9C, E3.9D)

text. (E3.13A, E3.13C, E3.13D, E3.13E)

Use appropriate capitalization and punctuation conventions in their compositions. (E3.19A)
Determine, locate, and explore the full range of relevant sources addressing a research question and
systematically record the information they gather. (E3.21A, E3.21B, E3.21C)
Clarify research questions and evaluate and synthesize collected information. (E3.22A, E3.22B, E3.22C)
Organize and present their ideas and information according to the purpose of the research and their
audience. (E3.23.A, E3.23B, E3.23C, E3.23D, E3.23E)
Use comprehension skills to listen attentively to others in formal and informal settings. (E3.24A, E3.24B,

Students speak clearly and to the point, using the conventions of language. Students will continue to
apply earlier standards with greater complexity. Students are expected to give presentations using
informal, formal, and technical language effectively to meet the needs of audience, purpose, and
occasion, employing eye contact, speaking rate (e.g., pauses for effect), volume, enunciation, purposeful
gestures, and conventions of language to communicate ideas effectively. (E3.25A)
Work productively with others in teams. Students will continue to apply earlier standards with greater
complexity. Students are expected to participate productively in teams, building on the ideas of others,
contributing relevant information, developing a plan for consensus-building, and setting ground rules for
decision-making. (E3.26A)
