Committing to Internationalism

Students create a brochure or web page to encourage member countries/states of the United Nations to promote internationalism. Their brochure or web page will explain the motives for internationalism and describe how nations' foreign policy goals can support internationalism.

Focuses for Assessment: How the Outcomes Are Grouped

The Summative Assessment Task: Committing to Internationalism  and accompanying rubric  address the following focuses for assessment and corresponding specific outcomes from the Knowledge and Employability Social Studies 20-4 Program of Studies. Skills and Processes outcomes are clustered with Values and Attitudes outcomes and Knowledge and Understanding outcomes to provide robust opportunities for student learning.
