Evaluation
and Extension
Evaluation of this project is interactive and should be designed to suit the learners', not the teacher's pace. Teams are assessed when they are ready. Evaluations may take as long as necessary. Products that may be assessed are up to individual teachers' discretion. When we assign value to student work, we produce an impact: what gets measured, gets noticed; what gets inspected gets respected. For this reason individual teachers are encouraged to devise their own assessment criteria using any or all activities included within this project, as listed below:
|
1 | Using Primary Sources in the Classroom |
2 | What Do You See? |
3 | Putting It Together |
4 | Team
Journal: (content, bibliographic completeness, extension and critical assessment of course information) |
5 | Questions for Investigation |
6 | Summative Discussion Questions |
7 | Team Participation |
8 | Whole class participation |
9 | Peer Reviews of Projects |
10 | Whole class review of how well teams' knowledge and interest are crafted into products and performances of their own design. |
At the end of the project, inform students that Team Journals become primary sources for students investigating child labor in future years to come. Teachers are encouraged to copy, bind and distribute a team journal to each student who participated in the investigation and to build a visible library of original journals within their classroom. |
