What are synonmys to the word "show"? HELP!

[Vesayen]

My )(*&!#&()(&!## history teacher says that the word "show" is unacademic, so instead of using the word 'show' when apropriate I must pick some completley inapropriate word so it is academic!

SO far the ones I am using are:

Reveals
Demonstrates
Makes clear
