Expectation  

How  well  do  you  understand?  

I’m  an  expert    

Yes,  I  get  it  

Pretty  much  

I  begin  with  an  accurate  and  concise  summary  of  the  event  (facts  only)        

I  identify  the  problem  and  state  the  human  right  I  think  is  being  violated  (interpretation)        

I  name  two  key  people/groups  from  the  time  who  had  different  views  on  the  issue  and  I  identify  each  perspective  by  making  clear  who  believed  what  (facts  and  inference)  

     

I  name  and  explain  a  person/group  who  made  a  difference  (facts  only)        

I  describe  what  that  person/group  did  to  make  a  difference  (facts  only)        

I  identify  the  strategy  used  to  address  the  social  justice  issue  (personal  interpretation  based  on  evidence)        

I  give  examples  of  what  changed  and/or  how  life  was  different  after  my  event  (facts  and  interpretation)        

I  describe  the  lessons  I  think  should  be  learned  from  the  way  the  social  justice  issue  was  addressed  (personal  opinion  based  on  evidence)

    some  significant  actions  are  missing  

   

  misidentifies  or  incorrectly  names  the  strategy  used  

   the  impact  of  the  event  is  unclear  

     

  does  not  identify  the  enduring  lessons  related  to  human  rights
