key supporting details
and ideas. (R2)

literary or informational

(R7)

Prepare for and participate
effectively in a range of conversations
and collaborations with diverse
partners, building on others ideas
and expressing their own clearly and
persuasively. (SL 1)

each source, and integrate the
information avoiding plagiarism. (W 8)

Delineate and evaluate the argument

and specific claims in a text, including

the validity of the reasoning as well as
the relevance and sufficiency of the
evidence. (R8)

Write arguments to support claims in
an analysis of substantive topics or
texts, using valid reasoning and
relevant and sufficient evidence. (W1)

Present information, findings, and
supporting evidence such that
listeners can follow the line of
reasoning and the organization,
development, and style are
appropriate to task, purpose, and
audience. (S & L4)
