North American Culture Project

Parents, please sign the assessment for the North American Culture Projects. that I am sending home today.
There's a grade for their Voice Thread Assessment--which you can see at this site:

There's also a grade for the inquiry process and project. The focus was in learning the inquiry process and learning how to think about an essential question. For example, Nick's focus was on this essential question: How did the mass-production of automobiles affect the United States? It was not on a topic: Henry Ford and the Model T. Each group had an essential question to answer. We want students to learn to think deeply, not just churn out reports that are tired retreads of something they've read on the Internet.
