Teaching AP Government in a Shortened Semester- Week 3 of Remote Teaching, Defendant’s Rights and Privacy

Another week of remote learning down and I’m starting to realize that I need to slow down and not try to do everything at once. There are a lot of great resources out there, but don’t drown in the pool of information.

Getting ready for the test?

For my classes (I have about 100 students taking the test), we have a separate Google Classroom just for the test takers. They are following along with the AP Review, and we are spending time in small groups reviewing what they need as well as me live streaming review of the rubrics, looking at example writing, and practicing.
This week we will look at the thesis statement and how to get the point. For me, it’s great review to take the rubric piece by piece. We become experts, and with the thesis point being so important, we are going to really focus on that.
Need writing help?
Thesis writing (yes, I know they don’t need a counter but it doesn’t hurt them)
