Today students received instructions for their Depression Summative Assessment. Working in small groups, students will demonstrate their understanding of the Depression through court cases. Everyone was assigned to a small group that they will be working with. Each of these small groups was assigned to either prosecute or defend one of the causes of the Depression.
In order to receive a 3, each groups case must include the following items:
An opening argument
2 witnesses
2 pieces of physical evidence
5 cross examination questions
A closing argument
All group work will be done in class but students will need to spend some time at home researching. Feel free to discuss their position, suggest ideas for research, help facilitate interviews, etc. Please do listen to them rehearse and plan to be here to watch.
They will present their cases on February 28th. Students will dress the part they are taking on. This may be as a witness or as a lawyer. You'll want your video camera!
See you then.
