Summative Assessment: Oral History Analysis Project

This Summative Assessment builds on what was learned in Lesson 1 Activities and involves students in creating an oral presentation. To support this activity, use the Lesson 1 Presentation.

Introducing the Assessment

• Share the Oral History Analysis Project PowerPoint Template and have students review the Oral Interview Analysis Project Scoring Guide.

Accessing the Website (https://kaoralhistories-yokcenter.weebly.com/ )  and Gathering Information

• In pairs, have students go to the ‘Oral History’ dropdown menu and select ‘Location,’ and then select two Korean Americans to compare. They should view the interviews (and/or read the interview scripts) to learn more about them. As they explore, have them note the following information:
  • What are their names?
  • Where are they located now?
  • Why did they/their family immigrate to this location?
  • What is an interesting fact or story they shared?
  • What impact have they had on their community?

Oral Presentations

• Have students create a presentation on the two Korean Americans they researched.
• When finalized, students present to the rest of the class and receive peer reviews
• ​TECHNOLOGY OPTIONS:
  • Collect all presentations through Google Classroom to make presentation time efficient.
  • Have students create screencasts of their oral presentation using the education version of Screencastify.
