Below are some suggestions for assessment activities. These are at two levels. They are only suggestions, there are numerous ways you could assess this unit. If you have a great idea, we'd love you e-mail it to us at Brainways so that it could be shared with others!

Before telling the students to 'go for it', I have found it extremely valuable for the class  to discuss what they have discovered first. In fact, the assessment could be done as a discussion activity rather than a written activity. It can be easier to get feedback from each student by getting them to write their thoughts down. Some students however can express their ideas much better orally than they can in print. Be aware of these differences in learning styles. It is important that the students think carefully about, 'Why did I learn all this stuff about ANZAC Day, what was the point in it?' Hence the value of discussion before letting them 'go for it'!

At each level, a question that relates to knowledge, attitude and skills is included. There is also a space for you to add a question of your own. This may relate more specifically to the approach you used with your class.
