The quality of journal entries and homework assignments help both teacher and students to monitor progress and understanding of content. Questioning is used throughout the unit to help students develop their higher-order thinking skills and process content. Individual and team group conferences are used to help monitor progress and answer any questions. The accountability rubric is used for students to asses how accountable they are for their own learning and can be used by the teacher to assess individual performance within the task force. The written essay test assesses students’ learning of the content and thinking independent of the group. Ask students to use the project rubric to help them self- and peer-assess their work on their Earthquake Preparedness Plans prior to completion. Use this same project rubric to assess and grade the final project and presentation. Individual pieces can also be graded as separate items in addition to the group grade.
