Assessment/Evaluation Techniques -
The teacher moves from group to group during the first part of the activity conferencing with students and observing their work, contributions to the group, etc.
-
Informal assessment is made of the groups’ presentations; teacher should provide feedback to students on their analysis and presentation skills.
-
Formal assessment is made of the finished chart and the notes based on completion, accuracy and ability to draw conclusions.
Accommodations -
Additional assistance may be given by the teacher in categorizing; (e.g., clues may be written on to the artifacts to help students in recognizing where the artifact belongs on the chart).
-
Some students may have difficulty with the writing and so may place the entire artifact on a larger board chart.
-
Students experiencing difficulty with the analysis may be allowed to demonstrate their ability to analyse in a non-written form.
-
Some students may require additional time to complete the organizer.
-
Individual exceptional students’ IEPs should be examined so that the activity can be altered to better suit their individual needs.
-
Where expectations are to be modified (according to IEP), assessment should be fitted to suit.

Activity 3: The Coming of War Time: 75 minutes Description
This activity allows students to understand the relationship that existed between the devastating inflation in Germany in the 1920s, the rise of fascism in Italy, the world wide Depression of the 1930s, the rise of a military government in Japan, and the coming of war in 1939. The focus is primarily on Europe with an examination of the political and economic situation in Germany that led to the rise of the Nazi dictator and the anti-Semitism and imperial aspirations that accompanied the rise to and the consolidation of power. Students use biographical information, maps, and documents to familiarize themselves with the individuals and circumstances leading to the formation of the Axis alliance and the eventual declaration of war on Germany. Students also assess the response of the Vatican to the rise of Hitler (tied to the artifact in the previous activity).
