Caption: The concept taught in this unit was urbanization. this has significant relevance to today's society, especially with its relation to crime, poverty and other societal problems. exposing these concepts to student in the most real experience can have significant impacts in them playing a role in solving some of the urbanization problems. The task that I selected was creation of a video highlighting the problems experienced and finding solutions. I found that there is no other way to bring this topic to life than to have students actually experience the problems. Also, boys would love to engage in this assessment. Providing students with the rubric made this assessment so much easier as the expectation for them were clearly outlined.
