Retakes and Revisions for Historical Thinking Assessment

Today, you got back your assessment on historical thinking terms.  Here is how it was graded:

Part 1. Knowledge - matching vocab terms.  If you got these right, you have PARTIALLY MET the standard.  This is equal to a 76.  If you did not, you are NOT THERE YET, which is equal to a 64.

Part 2.  Application - using the vocab terms.  If you got these right, you have MET the standard.  This is equal to an 88.  You are now officially done and don't need to do anything else, unless you so choose.

Part 3.  Evaluation - using the vocab terms to explore an issue in more depth.  If you complete this task thoroughly, accurately, and insightfully, you have EXCEEDED the standard.  This is equal to a 100.

"What if I didn't meet the standard?"

If you have not earned a grade that you feel reflects your ability, you need to get a relearn/retake contract from me. One is linked below.

The contract spells out what you need to do. There is a part for your parents to sign, a part for me to initial, and a part for you to initial.  Please review it carefully.

To make up the KNOWLEDGE portion of the exam, you need to complete a retake.  This will be a fill-in-the-blank using the five terms.  Before you do the retake, you need to spend 15 minutes studying my Quizlet or your own flashcards.  The Quizlet is linked below. The retake is on Friday at the beginning of class.

To make up the APPLICATION portion of the exam, you need to complete a review activity.  I will post a PowerPoint for you to go through and test yourself, then you can make corrections to your original quiz and resubmit it. Please complete this by next Tuesday.

To make up the EVALUATION portion of the exam, you should review the comments and checklist you were given.  I also will have a reteaching lesson during team time that you may choose to attend. Revise your first attempt and return it next Tuesday.

PLEASE DOUBLE-CHECK YOUR RETAKE CONTRACT AND MAKE SURE YOU AND YOUR PARENTS HAVE SIGNED/INITIALED IT AS NEEDED.
