Hi everyone!
Thank you for your participation in the Change in Early America group discussion. We had a good day sharing our learning and looking for connections. I hope this will set you up well for....
....the summative assessment!!!
For this assessment, you can use any information you have that is related to this unit.
Assessment: You are writing a two paragraph assignment. Each paragraph has its own prompt. You can treat each one as a separate paragraph; there is no need for an overall thesis and conclusion, etc., unless you want to go beyond the structure given below.
Paragraph 1 - What impact did your event have on the development of the US? In other words, how did this event (the purchase of the Louisiana Territory/the War of 1812) help make us the nation we are today?
Paragraph 2 - Looking at the overall impact your event had on our country, should this event be changed in some way? If so, explain how; if not, explain why not.
- Lousiana Purchase: Native Americans, scientific knowledge, political power of the Presidency
- War of 1812: Native Americans, military strength/world affairs, identity as a nation
Please have a clear topic sentence, use full sentences, and support your statements with concrete factual evidence. Bring each paragraph to a clear conclusion. You may transition between paragraphs if you want, but you do not need to.
Standards to be assessed:
Standard #1: I can describe how the first few presidencies helped to shape the country.
Standard #2: Standard: I can use social studies information given to me in class (data, statistics, and sources) to support an explanation.
