The conclusion of this lesson offers an excellent opportunity to assess student understanding
of the historical development of the Spanish Civil War, the role played by organizations such
as the International Brigades, and the humanitarian impulses of people to risk their lives for
a cause. An essay assignment could be developed around quotes from the ALBA site, such
as some of the personal reflections made by the people studied during this lesson.
Alternative assessments for similar content could focus on the creation of songs, poetry, and
artwork by students about someone they've studied in this lesson.
