=Stage 2 - Determine Acceptable Evidence.=

• **Inspiration:** Students will make a mind-map to help students evaluate what they've learned. • **Glogster:** Students will create a Glogster to present to their classmates their topic in Human Geography. • **Wiki:** The teacher will create a class wiki for students to post artifacts and use discussion tabs for commenting. • **Comic Life:** Students will create a comic where they apply their knowledge of Human Geography. • **Google Earth:** Students will create a Human Geography presentation using Google Earth. || • Checking for Understanding: Fist-to-Five, Thumbs Up/Down, 4-3-2-1, Circle-Triangle-Square, Say Something, Quiz. • Timely Feedback: Students will have the same checklist as the teacher to assess themselves and each other. || =Assessment Task Blue Print=

//**Through what authentic performance task will students demonstrate understandings?**// ||
 * **Task Description:** **(T)** ||
 * You and your colleagues are historians, archeologists, geographers, and archivists from a smaller museum and you hope that your presentation in the Museum of Natural History will bring more crowds to your museum. You and your colleagues will create a digital presentation on Human Geography in a region/society of the world. A list of regions/societies is provided below. Presentations can be anything from a powerpoint, video, audio recording, or almost anything you can think of. As long as you and your team can portray the changes in a region/society over time based on geographic changes (river shifts, droughts, desertification, etc) in the region that directly affects the societies nearby. Your task is to figure out how the geographical changes of the region over time have affected the civilizations that settle there. If there's a flood, what consequences does that present? Do the geographic changes affect relations between one civilization and another and if so, how? Be sure to talk about the affects that the changes had on the civilizations there. Be sure to talk about how a geographic change could have affected/did affect major events in history. There will be situations where you can explore your topic with "if" questions, as long as they are plausible.
