Phase I: Planning Assessment

I will be assessing students through their final Facebook page that they have created based on the rubric 
below. This is directly assessed to their objectives of collecting researching on a historical figure in the Revolutionary War era to describe the contributions of their historical figure and assess their impact on the time period and major events occurring in the United States. This assessment is one of the highest levels of thinking since students have to synthesize information they learn about their figure to put on the Facebook page. It meets individual student needs because all I ask for is 5 citations, this leaves the students able to decide what sources they want. It demonstrates each individual student's knowledge of their historical figure. The computer gives students opportunties to get help with their typing and allows students to organize their thoughts more easily.
