Assessment

How will I know if I have completed my objectives? Like all teachers, I will use a combination of formative and summative assessments in this unit and in the larger biography project. Much of the assessment during the primer will be in the form of "exit slips" from the day's work that allow me to gauge student understanding and make the necessary adjustments each day. The exit slip assessments will be the timeline analysis, the historical head, the facts and inferences from both the cultural and the personal artifacts, and finally the period biographical excerpt. The final assessment for this unit will be to have students answer the question, "What is biography?" and use information from the unit in their answer.
