Students are researching, in groups of three, one of the 17 U.N. Sustainable Development Goals outlined in 2015. Each group of three must further divide their research into the international, national, and local/regional areas of impact for the particular goal they chose. 

Initial research should begin with the U.N. Goals website and provided links, but each student will have a list of 10 annotated sources by Thursday's class that pertain to their topic and their area of influence (local, national, global). At least HALF of those sources should be from sources other than the U.N. website.

This should be the ONLY goal of class on Tuesday, and any subsequent homework. My expectation is that the Annotated Bibliography is complete on Thursday at the beginning of class, though students may need to print in class, if they don't have access to a printer. 

This assignment WILL be submitted to turnitin.com, so be wary of sharing too much of your work. 

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.
