The unit of study that I plan on assessing will be a United States History (11th grade) unit on the Civil War. Including the causes and consequences of the war. The students will have received information through a number of differentiated lessons ranging from observing and reporting back on a popular film ("Glory") as well as interactive lessons using the Internet, field trips, and traditional lectures. The mode of assessment that I will be utilizing will be a multi-layered traditional assessment that will include multiple choice, short answer and essay questions. I will use either a thematic essay or a document based essay on the exam.
The ultimate goal will be to give students some grasp of the depth and significance of the events being discussed while preparing them for the U.S. Regents exam which will be of a similar type. Other variations of Assessment For Learning will be applied during the unit.

I really like how you justified it via-a-vis the regents. You weren't in class today, so let me explain a little bit of where we'll go from here.
This post isn't you real proposal, it's just a chance for you to throw an idea at me. Your full proposal needs to be more developed an contain more details. In particular, how many items will be on this test, how long will students have to complete it, etc.
Then we'll negotiate from there.
The real proposal is due next week.
