Fourth Quarter TED Project
WEEK AFTER THE APUSH EXAM- This will be a slow week because AP Tests are still going on.
By Friday of this week, Please choose your final Research assignment. If you are still taking AP Tests, just ask for an extension. Focus on your Exams this week and THEN think about your project. Because we are not in class, the usual TED Talk will need to be modified.
Option 4- Write a research paper that has a defensible thesis and uses textual evidence to support your ideas. it should be 7-10 pages, 12 pt font double spaced , one inch margins, and have in-line citations with a works cited page. Footnotes are NOT needed but should only be used for ancillary information.
**You may choose to do something else for your project, but it MUST be approved by me.

THIS LESSON HAS BEEN MODIFIED/CANCELED-
Every AP Student will create a 5-10 minute TED talk. You may choose any topic that you please, but it should be relevant to our class.
Your talk should be supported by appropriate visual or audio aids : slides, music, video, etc...
Students will present their talks in alphabetical order, starting the second week in May (MAY 8th).
AP test-takers may defer their talk until after non-test-takers have finished. A sign-up list/calendar will be available in class.
if you are DEATHLY afraid of speaking in public, see me for an alternative assignment (it will NOT be easier). Examples of Ted Talks are below on this page.
