understanding of what real-world issues are going on currently.
Students will complete several different written activities including a graphic organizer, a
project, annotations, and a personal rubric.
The final project for this lesson is designed to get students to think critically and demonstrate
this through their own unique creativity.
An essay rubric will be used to assess this assessment.
