[Provide an overview of the summative assessment]

Example:

As a summative task, students craft a performance poetry piece using individual reflections written in the form of “Earth Guardians”. These lines, shaped by dramatic experiences and research in class, convey personal messages about sustainability.

Students collaboratively sequence and refine their lines into an original poem, which is then transformed into a dynamic performance using the elements of drama.
