Require Learner Participation

Students will be encouraged to ask questions if they are having difficulty. After everyone has completed their individual assignments, they will be asked to share with the class.

Evaluate and Revise

Students will have the choice on how they want to be assessed. They have the option of creating a poster. If they choose the poster, it must correctly include the capitol itself and the location. They have creative reign over how the information is portrayed on the poster. Teachers will use a rubric for the poster. The other choice they have for assessment is to create a podcast. Students can simply state the capitol and the location by recording and saving it as an MP3 file. Teachers will use the same rubric for this assignment as well.
