Description of PBA: Describe what your PBA is in enough detail that others can
understand. This PBA directly ties back to your Part 1- the concepts with
examples you elaborated upon. Be sure to give possible examples of what
students may showcase here. (single spaced ½ page)
For this assessment students would take the stance as someone escaping
Europe. Students would need to decide whether they are, hypothetically,
escaping for political, religious, and economic reasoning, and what struggles
have caused them to want to escape. For example: Students could take the side
of a person who is wanting to practice Judaism, in a time when people are not
allowed to be anything but Catholic. Students would need to see some struggles
of not being able to practice their religion, and some punishments they may have
suffered it there were caught practicing Judaism. Students would need to explain
their suffering to the “editor,” and explain their hopes for the new world. So, for
these people, they may have a hope for religious freedom in the new world.
Students would post their articles around the classroom, where we would do a
gallery walk. Students would be asked to place feedback in the form of a sticky
note on each letter to the editor. It may be some advice on things to work on or a
complement, but negative feedback will be forbidden from this assessment. We
will then as a class discuss some differences and similarities we noticed between
the political, religious, and economic reasonings.
Note: Prior to PBA: Create a rubric with student input for assessment.
Offer checklists, peer editing, conferences, etc. for students to self-assess their
progress. (Our course does not allow time for this.)

Relationship Building: How well do you know me? How will you get to know me
throughout the year? List multiple activities with a short description.
Activity 2: TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE: Students will share two things that are true
about themselves, and one thing that is not. They will then choose two people in
the class to try to guess what the lie is.
Prior Knowledge: How do you value what I already know? How can we show
this for all to see and refer to throughout our learning? (Refer to Part 1) As a
class, create large graphic organizers or anchor charts for multiple concepts.
Post in room and continually add new information. Describe how you would do
this.

CLASSISM
Resources: “The Feudal Systems Uncovered – Children’s Medieval
History Book,” By Baby Professor.
Activity: In Lit Circles students will discover what Feudalism is and why
people may have left Europe because of it. Students will be asked to create a
flow chart throughout their discovery of this book that describes implementations
that occur in a Feudal System that they feel are not good practices.
Product Created: Students will create a journal from the view point of
someone living in a country that uses Feudalism and will describe some of their
experiences and hardships.
ANTISEMITISM
Resources: “One Candle,” By Eve Bunting (We will do an interactive read
aloud of this book before Lit Circle).
Activity: Students will do lit circles to the Holocaust and how this story
relates to reasons people may want to immigrate.
Product Created: Students will create a newspaper article from the point
of view of a child listening to the grandmother describe why Hanukkah is so
important to her.

child’s community?

Empowerment: How can I co-create my learning? What are multiple ways I can
engage and express my learning? UDL practices & student choices offered.
Product Created: Students will be asked to create a Facebook page taking the
perspective of someone such as Anne Frank who may have wanted to move to
America for either economic, political, or religious reasons.
Students will have the option to create a Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
Students will be able to discuss other forms of social media that may be a
good option for their project and may be used with teacher approval. This
is useful for students as each one has a different reasoning. For example:
Instagram is more photo-based, where twitter is more text based.
Product Created: Students will create a journal from the view point of someone
living in a country that uses Feudalism and will describe some of their
experiences and hardships.
Students would have the option of doing a paper journal, a digital journal,
or they can create a video journal. This is useful for students to express
their ideas a non-formal setting.

Website: What website might students use? How might they use it? Need 1.
https://www.history.com/
o History.com would be beneficial for students to understand the
basics of what happened at Ellis Island, the Holocaust, or even
what Feudalism is. Students need the basics before they can build
knowledge, therefore is a student needs information on these, I
would give them time to get on an iPad and what some videos to
get to know the basics of history.
