Assessment:
• Students will be assessed in several different ways. Students will first be
assessed on their homework. Students will also be assessed on their
participation in the class discussion and their ability to create new question
or add to the class discussion in a positive way. Students will be assessed
also at the end of class to see if they understand how major topics of
American history are connected together. In addition, students will be
assessed on their ability to retain information through their unit exam and a
chapter quiz.
Sources, Materials, and Accommodations:
• “Chicago and Its Eight Reasons”: Walter White Considers the Causes of the
1919 Chicago Race Riot
• Maps/Charts discussing African American populations, locations, etc…

Plan “B” Option:
• If class time is running out, I will assign the summary as homework and
discuss the issue during the next available class.
• If class time is excess, I will have students write their reasoning in class and
will be further discussed if time permits.
