Questioning occurs throughout the unit to probe student thinking and allow student reflection. Anecdotal notes assist in keeping track of individual student needs. Students use a K-W-L chart to tap their prior knowledge, ask important questions while they conduct research, and reflect on what they have learned. Peer conferences are held to receive feedback and make appropriate revisions to their work. Teacher conferences are held to provide feedback, guide and assist students throughout the project, and adjust instruction as necessary. Students use a presentation checklist to monitor their progress and a scoring guide to assess their multimedia slideshow. They also complete a reflection essay focusing on the Essential Question that is showcased in their portfolio.
