Investigate the world

beyond their immediate

environment

• Identify an issue,
  generate a question,
  and explain the
  significance of locally,
  regionally, and globally
  focused researchable
  questions


• Use a variety of
  languages and domestic
  and international
  sources to identify and
  weigh relevant evidence
  in addressing a globally
  significant researchable
  question


• Analyze, integrate, and
  synthesize evidence
  to construct coherent
  responses to globally
  significant researchable
  questions


• Develop an argument
  based on compelling
  evidence that considers
  multiple perspectives
  and draws defensible
  conclusions
