Express ideas, arguments, conclusions, as appropriate for the audience purpose, using a variety of styles forms (e.g., reports, essays, debates, role playing, group presentations) Use an accepted form of documentation (e.g., footnotes, endnotes, or author-date citations; bibliographies or reference lists) to acknowledge all sources of information, including electronic sources Use appropriate terminology to communicate results of inquiries into historical topics issues
