Course Description: This course satisfies the graduation requirement for Literature & Composition II. AP Seminar Course – AP Central | College Board.
The AP Seminar experience involves a variety of performance tasks students will complete both individually and in small teams. As such, collaboration and teamwork are key components of the course; students must be willing and able to work with others for prolonged periods of time as they explore complex problems and develop potential solutions. Team based components include collaborative exploration and development of a research question which will form the basis of two scored components, the cooperative creation of a multimedia presentation, and the oral group presentation. Additionally, students will be expected throughout the duration of the class to work together for peer reviews, reflections, and learning tasks.
Individually, students will be expected to develop and utilize a wide range of analytical, research, communication, and sophisticated writing skills as they research and produce multiple long form writing assignments and presentations supported by a variety of credible academic and current event sources. Students will engage in cross-curricular conversations that explore the complexities of academic and real-world topics and issues by analyzing divergent perspectives. Students learn to investigate a problem or issue, analyze arguments, compare different perspectives, synthesize information from multiple sources, and work alone and in a group to communicate their ideas. While the components worked on during the year also factor into the students’ AP scores, the course also culminates in an AP Exam designed to assess the students’ skills at identifying and evaluating elements of a well-crafted argument and producing one themselves.
Additionally, students enrolled in AP Seminar / English 10 will take the Georgia Milestones End of Course Exam.
