This section includes just a few of the end of unit assessments that are possible.
Each teacher and homeschool parent should feel free to create whatever assessments best meet the needs of their students.
At the completion of the unit and visit to historical Galveston, the student will write a creative reflection essay to showcase their learning. It should inspire other students to visit Galveston and learn about its rich history and heritage.
Essay should include the following elements:
Using the essential questions, conduct in-depth discussions at the end of the unit. Be sure that all students have their learning materials with them (mind map, other notes) in order for them to give evidence to back up their arguments.
Once the small group discussions for each essential question have taken place, have the students choose the one that they felt most strongly about. Each student will answer their question fully, backing up their thoughts and ideas with the evidence gleaned from the lessons, their visit to Galveston, and the discussion time. They may use whatever platform they wish (digital or paper), but again, they must provide evidence to support their answers.
