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!
