Assessment and Reflection

This section includes many worksheets, a comprehensive scoring guide and a few other helpful forms for the Century Project. These could be distributed to the students in one large packet, or as the project progresses. It is extremely helpful to send the scoring guide home at the beginning of the project and ask parents to sign and date it. This encourages the parents to get involved and help monitor the students' progress.
