Assessment RI.8.7 & materials

I just created an assessment for RI.8.7

I created a folder for this standard in dropbox that has the assignment. It is a written assessment wher ethe students pretend to be a teacher who has to explain his/her choice to include 3 of the 5 possible mediums (see evaluation chart) on to teach Appalachian Culture. You will also find handouts I used. The only thing I have not doen yet is scanned and uploaded the excerpt from Outliers that talks about the "Culture of Honor".

Also, I created a Prezi for this. It has an intro video that I did for my student bc that is what I used for my sub plans today. IGNORE THAT. LOL! If I get time I will edit the Prezi and resend the link with changes.

I encourage you to get to know Prezi if you haven't used it already! I love it. It is much easier to embed video clips and it is web-based so it is easy-access!
