Summative Assessment for Red Scarf Girl
Dear
students,
You have done such a wonderful job
with this book! Think of all the things
you have learned so far—an overview of the extensive history of China up to
present times, an in-depth understanding of the Cultural Revolution Years—you
have also empathized with Ji Li and considered what you might have done if you
had to fill her shoes. Pat yourself on the back and then get started on your
final assessment!
