The levels are cumulative: each includes the ones before it. Proficient is on grade level. - **Developing**: Generate questions to guide research, make connections between topics. Use one analytical finding to answer a research question or support a thesis. Paraphrase, summarize, or quote material. - **Proficient**: Generate questions to guide research, make connections between topics, explore solutions, narrow focus, and/or refine text creation. Use multiple analytical findings to support a research question or thesis. Integrate paraphrased, summarized, and/or quoted material into original texts for intended purposes that strengthen the writing, citing the sources of ideas in Modern Language Association (MLA). - **Distinguished**: Integrate two or more paraphrased, summarized, and quoted material into original texts in various ways for intended purposes that strengthen the writing, citing the sources of ideas in Modern Language Association (MLA). ## The same standard across grades - Kindergarten, K.T.RA.1: **Research & Inquiry** Build knowledge about the world by asking or generating questions about topics of interest, researching the answers, using multiple sources, and communicating relevant and accurate information about the topic. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/K.T.RA.1.md - Grade 1, 1.T.RA.1: **Research & Inquiry** Build knowledge about the world by asking or generating questions about topics of interest, researching the answers, using multiple sources, and communicating relevant and accurate information about the topic. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/1.T.RA.1.md - Grade 2, 2.T.RA.1: **Research & Inquiry** Build knowledge about the world by asking or generating questions about topics of interest, researching the answers, using multiple sources, and communicating relevant and accurate information about the topic. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/2.T.RA.1.md - Grade 3, 3.T.RA.1: **Research & Inquiry** Conduct research to ask and answer questions that clarify, deepen, and extend understanding of a topic of interest using credible sources and communicating relevant and accurate information. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.T.RA.1.md - Grade 4, 4.T.RA.1: **Research & Inquiry** Conduct research to ask and answer questions that clarify, deepen, and extend understanding of a topic of interest using credible sources and communicating relevant and accurate information. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/4.T.RA.1.md - Grade 5, 5.T.RA.1: **Research & Inquiry** Conduct research to ask and answer questions that clarify, deepen, and extend understanding of a topic of interest using credible sources and communicating relevant and accurate information. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/5.T.RA.1.md - Grade 6, 6.T.RA.1: **Research & Inquiry** Conduct research, generating questions to guide investigations of complex topics of interest and using credible sources to support analyses. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/6.T.RA.1.md - Grade 7, 7.T.RA.1: **Research & Inquiry** Conduct research, generating questions to guide investigations of complex topics of interest and using credible sources to support analyses. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/7.T.RA.1.md - Grade 8, 8.T.RA.1: **Research & Inquiry** Conduct research, generating questions to guide investigations of complex topics of interest and using credible sources to support analyses. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/8.T.RA.1.md - Grade 9, 9.T.RA.1: **Research & Inquiry** Conduct research, generating questions to guide investigations of complex topics of interest and using credible sources to support analyses. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/9.T.RA.1.md - **Grade 10, 10.T.RA.1 (this standard)**: **Research & Inquiry** Conduct research, generating questions to guide investigations of complex topics of interest and using credible sources to support analyses. - Grade 11, 11.T.RA.1: **Research & Inquiry** Conduct research, generating questions to guide investigations of complex topics of interest and using credible sources to support analyses. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/11.T.RA.1.md - Grade 12, 12.T.RA.1: **Research & Inquiry** Conduct research, generating questions to guide investigations of complex topics of interest and using credible sources to support analyses. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/12.T.RA.1.md Source: Georgia Standards of Excellence, published by the Georgia Department of Education at case.georgiastandards.org.
