Traditionally, he has always given a unit test with multiple choice questions as a culminating assessment. His administration has told him to enhance the learning for his students through assessment options. What would you suggest he try? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The great thing about Social Studies is that it can be expressed in so many different ways. I like to divide my class into small groups and assign topics to each group. After studying a particular time period or subject area, I have them write a skit to "act out" to show their understanding of the historical context of the event or time period. I do not use these activities as summative assessments, but they are great tools for formative purposes.
