Students in AP Seminar have two tasks today—tasks I expect you
to do individually and quietly (the group work will be on Tuesday and
Thursday):
1) read through the websites I posted at the left about presentations
2)
troll through YouTube looking for students
presentations. The goal is to identify one that is poor, scoring mostly 2s and
one that is exemplary, scoring on the high end—4s and 6s (according to the
Group Presentation rubric—dark green, spiral-bound rubric sets are behind my
desk on the file cabinets). You need to copy the URL of the “poor” and the
“exemplary” student presentation videos (topic doesn’t matter, as long as it is
clearly school-appropriate) into a Google doc so that we can discuss them on
Tuesday. You should have actually assigned scores for each rubric row, and have
reasons why, in your journals.
This activity should take the
entirety of the period (minus the last 5 min for cleanup)and should be a silent
activity. Students should be prepared to defend the scoring of the
presentations they selected on Tuesday.
