AP Seminar: Spring Break and Beyond!

​​

I wanted to check in and give you an overview of what you might be seeing your student working on over break.  We worked hard to get their final essays done prior to break, but many really wanted the more relaxed pace of a week off to make final editing touches.  To that end, I’ve encouraged students to:

• Pair up with other students in the course to edit one another’s final drafts using the AP Seminar IWA rubric
  
• Ask trusted adults for editing advice
  
• Email me any final questions or concerns
  
• Upload their final essays to the College Board Digital Portfolio by the end of break
  

When we return from break,we will be diving right into final presentations. These will be delivered and videotaped on April 26.  The month of April is unbelievably busy with field trips and competitions and prep for AP/IB tests; I encourage you to sit down with your student and help talk through a plan for getting this work done! Many have expressed a desire to get started on that presentation over break!  We will work on it exclusively in class when we return from break.

Hopefully your student will share the work he or she is doing with you.  They have worked very hard and have much to be proud of with these essays!

Please let me know if you have any questions. I’ll check back in with updates in a few weeks.
