Questioning is used throughout the unit, beginning with the student assembly and landfill field trip pre-assessment, to help students develop their higher-order thinking skills and process content. Students assess their individual project in language arts using the brochure scoring guide. The trash from the past feedback form is used in social studies to help guide students in understanding and applying the historical research. Students use the math project checksheet to keep track of tasks that need to be completed and also to receive feedback. The completed group proposal with all its necessary components from all the subject areas is assessed using the slideshow scoring guide and team checksheet. Students assess themselves and each other on the group process using the team management rubric. The final reflection piece is used to assess students’ understanding of the Essential Question in relation to the content. The brochure scoring guide and slideshow scoring guide are use to assess final products.
