Assessment Basket: Finals

Announcing a new feature of "Journey"-- it's the Assessment Basket, found on the right side bar. Simply click on your course title and view the topics that will be added over time into the Basket. These topics, in some form, will be the basis of the "final". Actually it's not a course final because it only assesses the study undertaken after Winter Break.

Both the US Gov and Economic's finals will be created with applications of concepts you've learned rather than primary emphasis on identification or recall. For example, students might be given a news article and asked to draw inferences from it. There may be an illustration, graph or chart that might require interpretation. You might be asked to develop a "Voter's Guide" or draw out sceneria from a reported economic development. These are hypothetical examples.

Check it out.
