Assessment
Students will contribute to a classroom mural. I will explain the brief history of the Wall of Respect that existed in Chicago is the late 1960’s and 70’s before assigning the assessment. See the Appendix for a link to more expansive explanation of the history of the Wall of Respect.
Students will contribute to a classroom mural one individual that they believe belongs on a modern version of a Wall of Respect. Students are to create a piece of art (drawn or poetry) that highlights the person and a written explanation why that person belongs on the Wall of Respect. Students may also work in pairs if they want. The explanation needs to have the following: an introduction of the person with biographical information, one paragraph explaining what that person did that was noteworthy (describe it in an engaging way), and finally one paragraph arguing why we should respect that person (explain what makes that person worthy of praise).
