Final Assessment
The final lesson of this unit will be students creating a timeline of the major battles of the Revolutionary War. There are 12 major events in a Power Point adapted from Wake County's C-MAPP that students will independently research in order to create their own timeline. The description of the final assessment and expected product are below. The description is taken from Lesson 5 of this unit.
Students will spend the entire class doing independent research. They have been studying who was involved in the Revolutionary War and all of the many events leading up to it, so it will be their job to study each of the major battles from the war and create a timeline. This timeline based on the independent research will be used as their final assessment of making sense of the process of the Revolution. Students will use the Power Point below to review the 12 most important battles and events of the American Revolution. The Power Point can be printed or accessed on each student's individual computer or iPad.
Students must answer the following questions in their timeline and will have a checklist to guide them: When did it occur? (This will be part of plotting of the event.) Who was involved? Who won the battle? What was the most important outcome?
Students must plot all 12 dates and answer the addition questions under or above the date. They must add pictures and color as well, as it is their final assessment. This can be done with colored pencils or thin markers and depict at least 3 important parts of the timeline. The final product will use at least 2 pieces of paper and will be laminated for the students, so they should make it neat and colorful.
A sample of the timeline that I expect is shown below, without the pictures and color that students would have. Students will freehand this on as many sheets of paper as they wish, but there is a template below for those who need additional assistance with the task.
