Due date: I would like to review your methods section beginning Monday, January 16 (remember, you have a three-day weekend to get it done!). There are multiple videos linked below for you that you can watch at your leisure. Remember, you not only need to choose the method, but you must also defend your choice in order to receive those rubric points!

Agenda

• Review this slideshow on methods and approaches, since you will, after all, have to defend your choice of method(s): Lesson 14 Moving from a Lit Review to Your Own Research.pptx

• Students should read through this document because it contains the AP Research rubric, a student sample, and, most importantly, the AP readers' scoring commentary. The essay, about macroterme, is linked here
