Shower Curtain Project Assignment

Shower Curtain Project Assignment (Major Grade) Shower Curtain Project Due Date and Presentations Date: 4/ 22 Constitution/ Federalism Group 4/23 Branches of Government 4/24 Civil Liberties and Civil Rights 4/27 Political Beliefs & Behaviors 4/28 Linkage Institutions Instructions Based on data you have told me about which units you need to review before the AP exam, you have been assigned to a group. In this group, you will use a shower curtain to display and communicate your knowledge of the unit. How you arrange and communicate the information is up to you, but you should remember to include visuals and pictures. It is a group grade, but if you are unhappy with your grade you can write an additional FRQ to potentially earn back the remaining points (see me if interested the day your grade is returned). Remember to be neat and creative, and do not just write a bunch of text. There will be class time to work on it in class. I will provide shower curtains and permanent markers, but if you mess up/ aren’t happy with finished product/ want to start over etc. you can get shower curtains at the Dollar Tree in Milton for $1 each if you need or want to replace yours. In order to avoid doing that, you should make sure you do a careful plan of your Shower Curtain before you actually put it on the Shower Curtain. You will present your Shower Curtain to the class as well. Your presentation should last about a class period (estimate 45 min since 5 min to take attendance etc). Everyone in the group must present some information. Remember to plan and research your presentation with your group; do not just read information off the shower curtain. Your goal is to use the shower curtain and the class period to teach the class about that unit. Focus on major topics, key misconceptions, etc. How you do this is up to you, but you must include some type of unit overview or presentation and some type of activity; you can do a powerpoint, you can make a video, create a Kahoot, you can make practice multiple choice questions, have them do a group activity, etc. Creativity will be rewarded. You can see key standards from the unit (google ap gov curriculum framework and it should come up). You need to be prepared on the day of your presentation even if everyone in the group is not present. Follow the rubric for specific grading details. You will have all of this week to work on the project in class. If you want to see examples, you can Google Image search something along the lines of “Shower Curtain AP World History Project” and a bunch of examples should come up. You should start with this document that lists everything you’re supposed to have learned: https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/pdf/ap-us-government-and-politics-course-framework-effective-fall2018.pdf If you need copies made please email me no later than 24 hours in advance (i.e. if you’re presenting at the start of 3rd period on Tuesday, you need to email me what you need copies of by the start of 3rd period on Monday) Late work = - 10/ day Groups As noted above, groups were assigned based on the units you felt you needed to review.
