Knowledge and Skills Statement

Inquiry and research: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking using multiple texts. The student engages in both short-term and sustained recursive inquiry processes for a variety of purposes.

Consider pairing SE 3.13.E with SE 3.13.H and assessing both SEs at the same time. With SE 3.13.E, students demonstrate understanding of information gathered. Task students with sharing the results of an inquiry-based research project. Have students share the results of their research verbally, visually, or musically by creating multimodal presentations. Examples may include a traditional research report, a play, a media presentation, a cartoon, or a brochure.

This SE can be combined with multiple SEs as students make choices about mode of delivery for their research including the following:

  • SE 3.10.C author’s use of print and graphic features to achieve a purpose
  • SE 3.9.E.iii identifying intended audience
  • SE 3.11.E publish written work for appropriate audiences
  • SE 3.9.F characteristics of multi-modal and digital texts
