The unit begins with a class-created chart, which prompts discussion and provides an opportunity for the teacher to assess the students’ prior knowledge of the topic. Questioning is used throughout the unit to spark discussion, monitor learning, and promote higher-order thinking. To help students self-monitor their learning, have them use the self-assessment while working on their biography storyboards. One-on-one conferences between the teacher and student help to keep students on track and provide the assistance second graders need while working independently on a project. Use the biography rubric to assess the students’ multimedia biography presentations.

Group conferences and more discussions help to assess learning while students work on collecting data and creating their group graphs. Students should use the time capsule checklist to ensure that they have included all ten items and to provide descriptions of each item. Students also use the autobiography checklist to guide their progress while writing their autobiographies. Peer conferencing provides feedback for students as they go through the writing process. During one-on-one conferences, use the student’s autobiography checklist to take notes and assess student work. Finally, assess student understanding of the Essential and Unit Questions through discussion and/or written responses.
