Questioning is used throughout the unit to help students develop their higher-order thinking skills and process content as well as to monitor learning. The energy pre-assessment is used to determine student’s current knowledge of energy concepts and guide in lesson development. Students journal their current thinking on energy conservation at the beginning to help students establish a mindset for the unit. They continue to journal insights and reflections throughout the unit. The Clean Air Acts activity provides background information and ensures that students are on track. The project plan helps each group organize their learning center and meet expectations. The energy source rubric guides students’ research and data analysis. The fossil fuel essay checklist helps students to focus on key areas while answering the assessment questions at the end of part two. Students use the debate checklist to prepare for the energy debate and can also be used as a scoring guide. The purchase guide self-assessment and purchase guide checklist are used to help guide students’ learning, help students stay on track, and help students self-assess their progress. The purchase guide checklist provides an opportunity in which peers can assist each other through feedback. The group assessment allows student to reflect on their collaborative skills as well as their peers. Use the essay rubric to assess the essay examination as the final assessment for the unit. Provide this same essay rubric to students so they can self-assess.
