=Culminating Assessment=

Students will create a brochure concerning Egypt. Information on weather, climate change, and places of interest (the pyramids) will be reported. This brochure will be used to analyze the amount of student comprehension throughout the unit.



This project will assess: (W–6–10 Students use pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing, and critiquing to produce final drafts of written products.) (W-6-8.1 In informational writing, students demonstrate use of a range of elaboration strategies by including facts and details relevant to focus/controlling idea, and excluding extraneous information.) (ESS1-(5-6)-3 Students demonstrate an understanding of processes and change over time within earth systems by describing events and the effect they may have on climate.) (M(DSP)-6-2 Analyzes patterns, trends or distributions in data in a variety of contexts by determining or using measures of central tendency (mean, median, or mode) or dispersion (range) to analyze situations, or to solve problems.) (HP 1 (5-6) –1 Students act as historians, using a variety of tools (e.g., artifacts and primary and secondary sources) by using sources to support the stories of history.)
 * Students informational writing skills
 * Students knowledge of how greenhouse gases affect climate and the human population of Egpyt
 * Students ability to compute the mean and range of temperatures of a given area
 * Students reflection on what they have discovered about the Egyptian pyramids and their historical significance.

Rubric


 * || Writing || Science ||
 * 4 || The student provided a rough draft proving that all needed revisions were made and the student stuck with relevant information to the purpose of writing || The student wrote several facts (at least 5) about how the greenhouse gasses have affected the climate and its citizens ||
 * 3 || The student provided a rough draft but not all of the needed revisions were made and the student stuck with information relevant to the purpose of writing for about 75% of the brochure. || The student wrote quite a few facts (3 or 4) about how the greenhouse gasses have affected the climate and its citizens ||
 * 2 || There was no rough draft provided and only about half of the written product was relevant to the purpose of writing || The student wrote only a couple facts (around 1 or 2) about how the greenhouse gasses have affected the climate and its citizens ||
 * 1 || There was no rough draft and less than 50% of the brochure had anything to do with the purpose of writing. || The student failed to mention how the climate and greenhouse gasses have affected anything ||


 * <  ||< Math ||< History ||
 * < 4 ||< The student provides a correct estimation of the average and range of temperature in Egypt and provides the math done to show how the student got the numbers provided. The student also writes about how the temperature feels and behaves based upon this data. ||< The student elaborates on the historical significance of the pyramids by explaining several details (5 or more) about the history attached to the monuments. ||
 * < 3 ||< The student provides a correct estimation of the average and range of temperature in Egypt and provides the math done to show how the student got the numbers provided ||< The student elaborates on the historical significance of the pyramids by explaining several details (3 or 4) about the history attached to the monuments. ||
 * < 2 ||< The student fails to provide a correct estimation of the average and range of temperature in Egypt but provides the math done to show that it was caused by a mistake and not a lack of effort. ||< The student barely touches upon the historical significance of the pyramids by explaining a couple of details (1 or 2 details) about the history attached to the monuments. ||
 * < 1 ||< The student fails to provide an accurate temperature average and range and provides no evidence of math work to get to the number provided. ||< The student merely mentions that pyramids are there and fails to list any historical facts related to the pyramids. ||
