A third-grade teacher decides to have students rate their classmates as each one reads his or her report on an important person aloud. Which of the following sets of criteria is most appropriate to ask students to rate?

This criterion emphasizes research and content sourcing, which is more relevant to writing or preparing a report than to the oral presentation itself. For third graders, the focus should be on how they present their work rather than the depth of their research, making this criterion less suitable for evaluating oral reports.

While word choice and transitions are important for writing quality, they are not the primary focus during an oral presentation. This criterion assesses written communication skills rather than the effectiveness of verbal delivery, which is what the teacher should prioritize in this context.

This criterion pertains primarily to written work and does not apply to oral presentations. Since the students are speaking aloud, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization are not relevant factors in evaluating their performance during the reading of their reports.
