After writing the in-class summative essay for the Native American History Unit, class turned it's attention to preparing for the final exam.
It was decided that a Socratic Seminar would be used to demonstrate skills and knowledge of the units studied this semester: Women's History; 1920s-1930s; and Native American History.
Students worked together to develop a list of big ideas; major concepts; and possible questions. Students had time to practice discussion of some of these issues.
Students who needed to miss the final exam due to the change in calendar were able to schedule an essay on the same questions; students who arranged ahead of time to write a final exam instead could pursue that option as well.
