Assessment

The assessment for this portion of the unit's information will be a portfolio of the interactive journals from each day. Unlike the limited understanding that educators get from multiple choice exams, interactive journals serve as growing conversation between student and teacher and offer an individual look at what students are learning. The entries will be curated by the students themselves to demonstrate their growing understanding of the objectives. Students will explain their choices and through reflecting on the rubric and making an argument for the grade they should receive. Additionally, a reflective essay answering the essential question using information from class as well as the student's past and present experiences will serve as the final formal writing assessment for the unit and quarter.
