Social Science: World War One Final
Assessment for thematic unit in Social Science Students in the World History classes will begin each class session with a three to four minute "quick-write" in their notebooks. This will be a response to a prompt written on the board, and will usually ask them to write whatever they know about a person, place, thing, date, or quote pertaining to that day's lesson. The teacher will call on random students (from the roll sheet), ask for their answers, and conduct a short discussion of them. This exercise will allow the teacher to gauge the students' prior knowledge of the subject, indicate how much the students retained from the previous day, and provide further direction for the dayâs lesson. At the end of each class session, the students will have three to four minutes to reflect on what they learned, didnât understand or had questions about, or were most interested in, and write it down in their notebooks. These notebooks will be collected at the end of each week and graded for content, completeness, and use of proper grammar and note-taking practices. Notebooks will account for 15% of the students' grade, class participation another 15%, tests and quizzes 40%, and homework, book reports, essays, and projects accounting for the rest of their grade. This daily writing and reflection practice will serve to reinforce and expand the literacy aspects learned in each dayâs lesson, project, or presentation. See also Thursday of week 4.
