Assessment Ideas

Unit: The Crucible

The student should be able to understand the real world connections of The Crucible as well as effectively analyze the material on its own terms. -Students create a spreadsheet that lists the birth and death dates of all those killed in the Salem Witch Trials. Export the spreadsheet to a word document with a short description and a nice design. -Word/Excel (or comparable) -Word Document with inserted spreadsheet -By having to do so much work with the actual dates and names the human factor of the situation will become much more real to the students. -Students create a presentation in which they creatively detail one aspect of the play of their own choosing. -Photostory -Photostory presentation/wav.file -This will help students to analyze the material as they will have to pick out their presentation topic on their own and then find materials to support thei idea. -Students create a website on which to upload their work, provide links, detail the author, and write their own blog on the play. -Weebly, Scribd, Youtube (embedding project 2), etc. -Finalized website -Synthesizes both goals by having students create pages that will accompany their ideas on both the human factor and their own interpretations of the play. The blog will be instrumental in bringing these ideas together. Project 1 : Checklist Project 2 : Rubric Project 3 : Rubric
