Summary
As an extension to our study of Jackie Robinson, students work collaboratively and use 21st century skills to research Jackie’s life, “describe” his character, and explore real-life situations in which we may apply his life lessons to cope with the challenges of acceptance. The information gathered is used to produce a class book entitled, “A Walk in Jackie’s Shoes: Mrs. Gill’s Problem Dodgers.” This class book provides a non-traditional assessment.
