Assessment & Development

Hi all,

Here are my thoughts on the development of our lesson plan.

Firstly, to address the issue on whether the students will contribute fruitfully to this project, there should be clear instructions and expectations to be set.

Expectations
Students should be informed that the project that they will be embarking on would constitute a major part of their Curriculum Activity (CA) marks. Therefore, they should not take this project lightly as it will affect their overall results. Students are expected to provide a concise and well-grounded explanation / argument on the effects of the Japanese occupation in Singapore, in terms political, social and economic impact.

Critical thinking is required by the students to assess on the impact of the three factors stated above.

Project
After the history learning journey to the National Museum, students are required to create a video and present to the class on their interpretation of the Japanese occupation of Singapore. For instance, how life was like and what contributed to the predicament. Social expects with regards to the social welfare of the people can be reflected in the video.

Assessment
Students will be graded on:
i) The content of the presentation. (Relevance / accuracy)
ii) Creativity (Visual aspects)
iii) Grammar

To come up with the presentation and video, critical thinking is required by the students as they have to come up with how they are to interpret the various factors into their video. Therefore, teachers have to assist the students to ensure that they are working towards the correct path.
