This project will use the information we have gathered in all of our reading in order to effectively communicate what we believe the “American Dream” to be. This project allows for ample creativity as well as the opportunity to show me what you have learned. Try to incorporate as many of the skills as we have covered this year and try to be creative.

14. Evaluation (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page I believe that I will know this lesson has been successful if it meets the standards that have been stated, and that the students enjoy themselves. A few more details I look for are reports form those that were interviewed, I would like to know that my students were prepared, thoughtful, professional, a courteous. I will grade these projects individually to make sure that students get a fair shot even if the group dynamics were not perfect. I will grade based on the following rubric (adapted from Rubistar4teachers.org). I also think it is important that students flourish in the creative liberty I have given them. If students take this lesson and adapt it to their skills, talents, and interests, I will know it has been successful. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion
