(23) Research/Organizing and Presenting Ideas. Students organize and present their ideas and information according to the purpose of the research and their audience. Students are expected to synthesize the research into a written or an oral presentation that:

• (A) marshals evidence in support of a clear thesis statement and related claims;

• (B) provides an analysis for the audience that reflects a logical progression of ideas and a clearly stated point of view;

• (C) uses graphics and illustrations to help explain concepts where appropriate;

• (D) uses a variety of evaluative tools (e.g., self-made rubrics, peer reviews, teacher and expert evaluations) to examine the quality of the research; and

• (E) uses a style manual (e.g., Modern Language Association, Chicago Manual of Style) to document sources and format written materials.
