The Humannequin Project includes an assessment each year which varies by topic. The 2013 assessment, rubric, and student scoresheet are attached. Each questions always focuses on Bloom's Taxonomy: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate and Create. Questions 4 and 6 have lower averages. These two areas need to be improved for the 2014 project. UPDATE: For 2014, the topic for the project was gender and language. Please see attachments for 2014 humannequin project assignment, rubric, and results. Students improved for questions 4 and 6 due to additions in class activities and self reflections (attached). 2014 averages would be higher if we excluded those who just did not answer the question. (question 4: 2.24 average increased to 2.58/ question 6: 2.68 to 3.0). This demonstrates that additional, simple class group discussion and self reflection can improve assessments.

Thank you, Olga! I'm using this and appreciate all of your design work! Since I "sell" active learning through the Bloom posters in our classrooms and the General Abilities Matrix, your materials fit perfectly.
HI Caron, Sorry it took me so long to respond! I usually spend time on CATS at the beginning of each semester. Thanks for the comments! Olga
The results here are significant and in fact worthy of replication. My students gain so much from the project as I have them complete reflections and have them create a composite character based on the humannequin that most affected them. Thanks so much for this thought provoking activity and assessment.
HI Steve
Thanks so much for the feedback. I appreciate it. I hope you can bring our your students again this year :)
Thanks for always supporting the project.
Smiles
Olga
