Unit Summary:
At Bleckley County Middle School, students always score lowest in the area of research skills. I feel like
more practice in this area will help to improve our test scores. This unit was designed to give students
the opportunity to have hands on experience with research as well as with creating a bibliography and
using specific formatting. I feel that the students will enjoy this unit as well as get essential skills
practice from it.
Reflection:
To identify the area of weakness for this unit, I looked at 7 th grade CRCT scores from the past several
years. While scores did fluctuate, students were consistently low in the area of research skills. I felt like
a unit that would be enjoyable for students as well as useful was necessary so that students would be
engaged and actually benefit from the instruction and their participation in the unit. I had a great time
delivering the unit and I think the students had a great time learning about the mysteries history has to
offer.
