AP Summer Seminar

 📚 Lets start with what you will do in APUSH class... 

• In AP US History (APUSH), we used a "flipped classroom" model where students watch and take "Flip Notes" on a short video on YouTube the night before a lesson.  These Flip Notes replace the traditional lecture a teacher would deliver in class.

• The next day, you will use your Flip Notes to complete activities in class called Practicums. You will be asked to submit your Flip Notes and some designated screenshots from the Practicums for a grade periodically.  

• Finally, you will be completing End of Lesson (EOL) Questions which pull together the main idea of each lesson.  We expect you complete the EOL after each lesson as a way of tying everything together while the information is fresh. 

 📊 Now lets talk about APUSH scoring...  

• 📝 Action Reports: Make up 50% of your course grade. These check your Flip Notes, Practicums, and End of Lesson Questions.

• - 🧪 Summative Assessments: Worth 40%, based on College Board standards.

• - 📂 Semester Project: Counts for 10% of your grade and mirrors college-level assignments.
