May 15/18: Finalize Perspectives Summative

5/15/2020

Check-in: Peer 'Critical Friends' Feedback on Summative

In small groups in Breakout Rooms you will provide and receive constructive feedback using the 'Critical Friends' protocol. See sentence stems below to help guide the feedback you provide to your partner(s).

Keep working! Complete by the end of class.

You will stay on the Zoom meeting call and keep working within your Breakout Room. Just turn your camera and microphone off while you work.

If you need help, you can ask your partner(s) or ask for help and it will alert your teacher to join your Breakout Room to assist you.

Note: since this is a summative, I cannot give you feedback on your summative work before you submit it (that would be akin to asking your math teacher if you have the correct answers before submitting a math summative)--and you already received feedback on 2 of the perspectives in the formative. What I can assist with during the summative is to help provide clarification on what the tasks are asking of you, clarification on the rubric, or assist you in thinking through about some aspects of the different perspectives of your issue.

Completed the Perspectives Summative? That's it for now!
Focus on wrapping up your research and completing your summative for English!

You should begin wrapping up your research.

The next priority is to be sure you have enough research complete to finish your English summative on the central debate of your issue. After you feel that you've done enough research to complete the English summative and have enough information to attempt to answer your research question, then you are done!

The next task in World History will be to resubmit your
Research Question and Supporting Questions.

We will do this next week. For many of you, the Research Question and/or Supporting Questions may have changed since you submitted this as a "formative" at the start of your research. That is normal and to be expected in authentic research as research can lead you in different directions once you start. Further instructions will be given to you later on about this.

This next World History summative will also help you prepare for your English "oral defence" in which you have to discuss your research topic and the research process.

You will submit the research question and supporting questions by the end of class on the following dates, depending on your block:

A Blocks: May 21st
B Blocks: May 22nd
