Overview
About this Assessment
After students have completed Lesson 7: Genocide Under the Cover of War, it is an appropriate time to revisit their initial position on the essay prompt that they drafted in the first assessment step, Introducing and Dissecting the Writing Prompt. At that time, students reflected on the writing prompt, but they they did not connect it to any of the specific historical events they are studying in this unit. Now that students have learned about the Armenian Genocide, they will reflect on the writing prompt a second time by adding this historical lens. It is important that students keep the materials for the essay (journal reflections, evidence logs, writing handouts) in a safe place, because they will refer back to them over the course of the unit in preparation to write the essay assessment.
