This document outlines a summative task for 6th grade students to demonstrate their understanding of how decisions made by those in power can have consequences that affect individuals and society. Students are asked to research a past, present, global or local situation where there are different levels of power and present their findings in a 3-5 minute dramatic presentation. They must also provide a self-reflection using a provided rubric. The learning intentions are for students to understand how power dynamics can influence relationships and outcomes, know key details of the situation they examine, and have the skills to effectively conduct research and present their findings.
