Some days can be devoted entirely to discussion, some days can be devoted to student exploration. Allow some class time for students to work on their diaries and to exchange some supportive feedback and suggestions with their peers. After all the material is presented and the projects are completed allow class time for the students to self-assess their own learning and to give suggestions to the following class of students that will study this unit. Also allow time for students to give feedback to the teacher on how to improve the unit, perhaps in a private survey. Provide an opportunity for a student performance or exhibition of their work.
Students can read their journals to the class, including their peers and parents.
Work can be displayed publicly in the school. Have students consider what ideas or causes they strongly believe in. This unit can make use of as many different types of resources and materials as are available in your school. It helps if the students have some experience navigating a web site, but that skill can be taught as part of the lesson on being a historical detective. Students can take turns using the internet in groups of 2 or 3 if necessary.
