The assessment plan begins with a KWL chart that will gauge how well students
understand the subject of U.S. Imperialism by stating what they know, what they want to know
and what they will learn. This will by a number of formative assessment techniques such as a
Venn Diagram that will have students comparing and contrasting that changes in foreign policy
between the 20th and 21st century. Students will then be placed in Small Groups to discuss the
provided readings, and will then write down their own notes on the readings to share with their
group and then the class. As well, a questionnaire will be provided for students to answer
questions relating to the material and their own thoughts on the subjects discussed during U.S.
Imperialism, such as annexation and policy. The last formative assessment technique will have
students create flash cards on Quizlet to illustrate their understanding of the content by citing key
terms and events relating to U.S. Imperialism. This will be useful in demonstrating their
understanding of the material in their own words. The summative portion of the assessment will
start as an essay that will ask students to demonstrate their knowledge on the material as well as
illustrating their opinions using the readings provided during the lesson. Will be asked to use
primary and secondary sources. The last summative assessment will come in the form of brief
material. They will be allowed to use their essay to help them be concise in their discussion of
the content.
