=Stage 2 Determine Acceptable Evidence.=

Role: You are a historian presenting this project in front of the World's top historians. Audience: Your audience is the most famous historians from around the world. Situation: The World's top historians cannot agree on exactly where Hitler went and how he conquered Europe, how Operation Overlord was successful, how the Battle of the Bulge ended, how the attack on Pearl Harbor happened, and why Operation Market garden was unsuccessful for the Allied Alliance. You have been asked to come up with a map showing exactly how one of these events unfolded and ended. Product/Presentation: The final product will be a map on Google Earth that outlines Hitler's conquest of Europe, Operation Overlord, the Battle of the Bulge, Pearl Harbor, or Operation Market Garden. Standards (criteria from both rubrics): Product: Historical Accuracy, Map Legend/Key, Labels - Accuracy, Labels & Features - Neatness, Knowledge Gained, Title Presentation: Comprehension, Preparedness, Content, Stays on Topic, Enthusiasm, Speaks Clearly. || • Final Google Earth presentation • Weekly Quizzes on the material covered during the week. || • Reflections: Students will write a reflection explaining why they chose that project to include in their portfolio. • Peer Assessments: Students will assess each others works and give feedback about them. || =Assessment Task Blue Print=

//**Through what authentic performance task will students demonstrate understandings?**//
 * //**Task Description:**// **(T)** ||
 * In a recent conference, the top historians of each country realized that they could not agree on how Adolf Hitler went about in conquering Europe, how Operation Overlord was successful, how the Battle of the Bulge ended, how the attack on Pearl Harbor happened, and why Operation Market garden was unsuccessful for the Allied Alliance. They have decided to settle their debate by setting up a competition for high school students. They have asked high school history classes across the country to design an outline of how one of these events unfolded and ended on Google Earth. The students will then have to present this project to the historians and convince them that their version of one of these events is the correct version. Students must be sure to include the correct path that each side took through the different areas involved in the event and the important events that happened along the way. All of this information must be supported by primary sources to convince these historians that the version they are watching is correct. ||
