Reflection:
Students will use the write to learn activity as a summative assessment, where they can write a 5 paragraph essay that takes a stand on sweatshops today, supported with evidence. My class has not practiced writing under a time constraint and the opportunity for them to complete a five paragraph essay in a class period serves as a summative assessment on the unit.
Students will have access to online sources and any work completed in the unit to supplement their written response. Throughout the unit students were provided with journal and reflection opportunities, that will now be used to write a full essay. Students are encouraged to pull from all different types of resources and information we have covered in the class, and it is their job to bring it all together in a well organized essay.
