Formative: Opposing Perspectives on an Issue

5/4/2020

Today, you will complete a formative assessment on perspectives on a question you are asking about your issue. This is the question we worked on last class and you were asked to find 2 articles/sources that helped you understand the different points of view.

There is a formative document dropped into your WH Google Drop folder, titled, "Formative: Perspectives (Unit 4: The Human Story)". You will be completing your work in that document today.

Formative Task #1: Identify your two opposing viewpoints on an issue/question.

Complete the table on the document. We will do this together during class time. (Approx. 10 min.)

Formative Task #2: Using Evidence

Complete the table on the document. We will do this together during class time. (Approx. 15 min.)

Formative Task #3: Evaluating Sources and Evidence

Complete the table on the document. We will discuss this in class together; you may need to complete this task independently outside of class time. (Approx. 20 min.)

HW: Finish the formative tasks (tasks #1-3)

Remember that this formative will eventually become summative work that we will expand/add onto with a 3rd perspective and at least 2 sources used per perspective (some sources may inform you of more than one perspective--that is okay as long as you note that). For that reason, it is important that you complete this formative to the best of your ability and do so on time so that you can receive feedback prior having to do this summatively. If you submit this formative late, you may not receive feedback in time to benefit you in your performance for the summative.
