Questioning is used throughout the unit to promote higher-order thinking and assess student understanding. A quiz is used to assess general knowledge of molecular genetics and students’ understanding of the lab investigations. Other artifacts of student learning include the Gattaca essay, the use of the Showing Evidence Tool to support a claim, and the presentation of a bill. The essay rubric is used within the Gattaca essay document to assess essays. The argumentation rubric and bill rubric provide a framework for assessing student learning and guide students throughout completion of the projects. Also, periodically reviewing students’ science journals is a way to keep informed about the progress of students and any difficulties they may be having. The evaluative thinking checklist is used throughout the learning process to observe and assess students’ higher-order thinking.
