you? At what point, if any, do you get unclear as to what your partner is trying to say?
•Background: Does your partner provide background information and/or definitions of key terms? In other words, does your partner include information that is “good to know”in the middle lines? Should more information be added? Are there additional key terms that should be defined or explained?
•Developmental period: Does your partner clearly state whether the prenatal, infancy and/or toddler period will be discussed?
•Paper Overview: Does your partner provide a paper overview (e.g., this paper will

•Domain: Does your partner present the domain, using research that fits into the domain and the developmental stage correctly? Do they effectively integrate the findings from two references? Is the topic specifically linked to the research findings?
•Use of Primary Source Research Studies: Does your partner accurately present current research findings; succinctly describes the goals of the study (1-2 sentences) subjects(age, gender, ethnicity, etc.), data sources (standardized tests, parent questionnaires), and key results? Do they specifically demonstrate how the results are related to the topic, and the broader context (e.g., what do the results mean for the topic)?
