Junior Year/AP Psychology - Investigate the World: What is the evidence that a student can initiate investigations of the world by framing questions, analyzing and synthesizing relevant evidence, and drawing reasonable conclusions about global issues?
In my AP Psych class, I was regularly tasked with creating a timeline of to incorporate my understanding of the class materials. My favorite example of this was my timeline of my personal development. This was an interesting project where I was able to use some of my creative writing skills and mix them with my history skills.
I worked with a small group to create a timeline of our lives. This aligns with the ISSN performance outcomes and goals because it was a project aimed to look deeper than just what is on the page but look at the historic causes and sways of events and create a variety of possible outcomes of human development. It was able to model entire lives and how certain impacts have run on effects on each other. This then posed the question: “How do our individual actions everyday contribute to societal good?”. It may seem small, but all of these actions can lead up to more equity and equality for all.
Following this, we had to justify our events after a series of questions from our teacher and other students. This project was critical to learning all about the Development Cycle in a fun way.
