Description
Students write several paragraphs that synthesize their learning and demonstrate what they have learned about working conditions. In preparation, they have paraphrased facts into their own words (throughout the unit), marked the facts they want to use (in Lesson 6), and planned the basic organization of the paragraph (in the entry task). The criteria to use when assessing the research synthesis is listed on the student copy of the assessment, both to ensure that students know how they will be assessed, and also so that it can be used as a checklist when reviewing students’ synthesis. The assessment is focused on what information the students have gathered in their research, not how well they craft body paragraphs.
