Unit 5 - Assessment

Tomorrow is our last assessment for Unit 5: Conveying Differing Perspectives. Students have been studying articles and videos about Hurricane Katrina and determining the different ways media presented the information about this event. Tomorrow they will compare/contrast two articles (Honors Period 2 are comparing/contrasting three articles) and write a constructed response detailing how the authors have presented the information the same, and how they have presented information differently.

Articles, rubrics, and all practice materials are below.
