2.1 and 2.2 Research Assessments- Nazi Propaganda

We are currently working on the 2.1 and 2.2 research assessments (90465 and 90466) that judge a student's ability to conduct an inquiry of an historical topic and communicate the key information from their research. These two assessments are worth a total of 8 credits. 2.1 is due on Friday, July 24th and 2.2 is due Friday, August 14th. The focus of this research is on Nazi propaganda in 1920's and 1930's. This coincides with our unit on Weimar Germany and the Nazi State.

There are three assignments for 2.1. The first assignment is planning the inquiry project. Students must choose a specific topic, write at least three focusing questions, consider possible sources for their project and make a personal timetable.

The second assignment of the assessment is the collection and organization of evidence for the research. Students must collect at least three different sources for each focusing question. What do you do with these sources?

* Accurately record the source details.
* Organize the selected evidence to go with each focusing question in the folder.
* Highlight, or underline relevant information you will use from text.
* Include notes on your interpretation of any visual sources.
* Complete summary of information worksheet for each focusing question.


The last assignment for 2.1 is the evaluation of the inquiry process. In the coming weeks, I will include more specific information about the tasks involved with 2.2.
