SED 406: Observation Assignment IV

1.) What do you think the objective is?
Taken from an earlier observation assignment: Students, forming groups, will trace the growth in colonial anger prior to the American Revolution by studying key terms, while analyzing legitimate government to review for a re-take of a previous exam.
For fun, I have labeled the A.) audience, B.) targeted behavior, C.) condition, and D.) the degree.
A: Students
B: Tracing the growth of colonial anger by studying key terms and analyzing legitimate government.
C: In groups
D: NA
2.) What level of Bloom's Taxonomy is that?
Knowledge and Analysis.
3.) How will you assess it in 10 minutes or less?
Although I was shown the exam Mr. Lefort was planning on giving his students for their next class, I have created my own, shown below.
Quiz I
Please carefully read the following instructions:
Match the following terms to their definitions by writing the correct letter in the blank space to the left of the appropriate term. Each question (there are 5 in total) is worth two points. There is also an essay question that will require a 5-8 sentence response, worth ten points. Make sure to plan your response carefully and to answer the question fully.

1. ____ Boston Massacre                                               a. Prevented colonial westward expansion.



2. ____ Proclamation of 1763                                        b. Hindered smuggling of molasses, hurting the 
                                                                                       colonial economy.


3. ____ Stamp Act of 1765                                            c. Resulted in the death of five colonists.



4. ____ Boston Tea Party                                              d. A direct tax which required colonists to 
                                                                                       purchase paper goods produced in Britain 


5. ____ Sugar Act                                                          e. Resulted in an entire shipment of tea being 
                                                                                       dumped into Boston harbor by colonists 
                                                                                       protesting the Tea Act.


Essay Question: Were the colonists justified in being unhappy with British authority and rule prior to the start of the American Revolution? Select a specific event/tax/piece of legislation passed by the British and the corresponding response by colonists to its passing to support your argument. Responses again should be between 5-8 sentences.
