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. 


Option1- Interview a member of your family.- Tell their story . Ask about how your family came to the US. What historical events happened in their life that struck them, What do they consider important in life?  Write or record a report that uses outside research to expand on what your interview found out. ​
Interview Example
Option 2 -  Create a 5-10 minute TED talk- but on video. You may choose any topic that you please, but it should be important to you and relevant to our class. Your talk should be supported by research.
Ted Talk Example
Option 3-  Create a podcast (sound only) that investigates any historical event that you like.
Podcast example
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.  ​
Option 5- Same as #4, but find an object of historical interest and use the paper to explore its history, development or significance. Same parameters as #4.  An example ( Ancient History- yours would be US History) is right. ​
Example for Historical Object Paper
**You may choose to do something else for your project, but it MUST be approved by me.  ​

Here is an excellent example of a Student TED talk that demonstrates research, speaks extemporaneously, shows a personal interest, and holds the interest of the class.

  • Article: Read and analyze a history article approved by Mr. Tuttle. Begin by printing the article and marking up the text. Next, write a thesis analysis of the article by hand (one page minimum, not typed). Describe what the author's thesis was and the evidence they used to support their argument. Finally, discuss your reaction to the article. Refer to each unit page on the class website for a list of pre-approved articles. You must select an article that pertains to the unit we are currently studying. (5-15 points, based on length of the article and the quality of the analysis)
  • Podcast/Lecture: Watch and analyze a history lecture/podcast approved by Mr. Tuttle. Begin by listening to the lecture/podcast and taking notes as you listen. Next, write a one page thesis analysis of the article. Describe what the historian's main argument was and the best evidence they used to support their argument. Finally, reflect and discuss your reaction to the lecture. Refer to each unit page on the class website for a list of pre-approved lectures and podcasts. You must select a lecture that pertains to the unit we are currently studying. (5-15 points, based on length of the lecture/podcast and the quality of the analysis)
  • Political Debate: Watch and analyze a political debate. Print and complete this worksheet as you watch the debate. (5 points, based on the analysis of the debate; maximum 1 debate per quarter)
  • Book: Read a book related to class and write a 2 page review/analysis of the book. The book review guidelines are similar to the article review guidelines. Emphasize analysis rather than summary. Discuss the things you liked, disliked, learned and would like to learn more about.  You must select an article that pertains to the unit we are currently studying. Check in with Mr. Moore prior to writing a review of the book. (20-30 points, depending on the length of the book and quality of the review)

It's been a great year!!!

 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.
