Create PT

Follow the instructions below to complete your Create Performance Task. If you have any questions, please let me know as this is a very important part of your grade, both for the course and for the national exam in May. Send me a Remind message or an email to dpeagler@starkvillesd.com with any questions.

You'll probably need to finish all of Unit 5 on code.org before you'll have enough tools to complete this project. So if you haven't done that, then head over there and get to work on that stuff.

If you'd like to see some examples they can be found at this link. The scores that each one earned and the rationale behind these decisions is given in this document. I recommend picking a few and using the rubric to score them for yourself. Then use the second document to check how they did. Knowing how to score the document will help you know what the AP readers are looking for and is the single most important thing you can do to improve your score.

Create PT Rubric

This is a copy of the rubric that the College Board will be using to evaluate your Create task. Read over it carefully and then use it to grade some of the sample student responses, from the link above.

Create PT - Survival Guide 2019_2020.pdf

Create PT Survival Guide

This is a document, created by code.org, that lays out all the necessary steps in completing your Create task. Carefully read it and work through everything. The most important thing is selecting a good topic that meets all of the guidelines. Reach out to me if you need help.

Create PT Written Response Template

Explore PT Template

This is a template that you can use to type your responses and to cite your sources. You'll need to "Make a Copy" of the document before you can type in it.

As part of the project you will have to submit a video of your working program. In my experience, the best tool to complete this task is Screencast-O-Matic. You can find instructions for how to Screencast-O-Matic at this link.

When you are finished follow these instructions to upload your work to the Digital Portfolio. https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/digital-submission/submit-ap-csp-work

DO NOT DO STEP 8! I will be doing a quick check over everyone's submissions to make sure that there are no technical difficulties before submitting.

Scoring Worksheet

Here is a copy of the scoring worksheet the College Board used to score exams last year. It will not be exactly the same this year, since there is no multiple choice section, but I'd imagine that the scoring of the two performance tasks will be the same. Note that each line is worth a different percentage of the overall score. Pay particular attention to the lines with a high percentage when you are working.
