Assessments
Assessments
Formative assessments for this unit include image and source analysis activities. The summative assessment requires students to record a podcast based on their class research, engaging with more higher order thinking and practice than a traditional end of unit test would allow.
Students get to perform a source analysis of memorials in Lesson 5. This PowerPoint includes the process of analysis as well as images of these memorials. Memorials are often accepted at face value as history, and students will walk away from this lesson with the understanding of how memorials are created and their various purposes related to memory and reconciliation.
Below is an example of the digital mapmaking tool, StoryMap-JS, that students will use to map their research in Lesson 4. More digital map tools can be found within the artifacts document.
