Summative Assessment
Students will complete a project focusing on civil rights. They can choose any civil rights movement that we have discussed and make a: protest sign, a propaganda poster, political cartoon, or diary entries that reflect what the students have learned. If students have another idea for a project, they must check in with the teacher for approval.
