UNIT 6:

Performance Task 1 – Team Project and Presentation

*Students work in teams of three to five to identify, investigate, and analyze an academic or real-world problem or issue. Each team designs and/or considers options and evaluates alternatives; develops a multimedia presentation to present the argument for their proposed solution or resolution; and provides a defense to questions posed by the teacher. This task consists of two components: (1) individual research report; (2) Team multimedia presentation and defense.

UNIT 7:

Performance Task 2 – Individual Research-Based Essay and Presentation

*The College Board will release cross-curricular source material representing a range of perspectives focused on a single theme or topic. Students will use these texts to identify a research question of their own; conduct research; analyze, evaluate, and select evidence to develop an argument; and present and defend their conclusions. The final paper must refer to and incorporate at least one of the provided sources. This task consists of three components: (1) Individual written argument, (2) individual multimedia presentation, and (3) individual oral defense.

When the source material is released in January, students are allowed 30 school days to prepare the written report and multimedia presentation. Students have 30 school days to complete their research, compose their essays, and develop their presentations.

The exam consists of two components: (1) Part A – Students are asked to analyze an argument using evidence; (2) Part B – Students are asked to build their own arguments using at least two of the four sources. Each of the four sources will explore a common theme through different lens, allowing multiple entry points for students to approach the topic.

I am a high school English teacher, who loves to write and read, color, doodle, procrastinate, work out, yoga, lift weights, coach volleyball, and push myself beyond my limits. My daily life is about my career and education; as a lifelong learner and now, a lifelong educator in a high school environment, I believe that it's crucial to continue to learn about new ideas, delve deeper into the meaning of written works, and write truths. As a volleyball coach, I find that being a role model, learning from my players, and guiding my teams in all aspects of life and skills is vital to helping them have a prosperous future. It's not always about the win, but rather about the journey to the finish line that truly matters.
