//www.marystarhigh.com/apps/classes/991553/assignments/ Class Name: AP Seminar (4th Period) Instructor(s): Brittney Marquez en-us SchoolSitePro //www.marystarhigh.com/homeworkItem7862730 //www.marystarhigh.com/apps/classes/991553/assignments/ Students will be able to internalize the process of building an argument through a series of steps (literally) of claims (assertions), evidence, and analysis (reasoning) that serve to support your argument (thesis).


Students will first create a research question based on the 2018 EOC Part B Sources discussed as a group
Determine your individual position/stance (argument/thesis)
Then make two claims, 
Brainstorm stimulus material evidence for each claim, 
Then, analyze your argument
Using index cards, students will physically build an Argument Tower to support their argument.


This is an in-class assignment that will begin in class on Wednesday, June 2nd, and will conclude on Friday, June 4th. Students learning at a distance will complete this assignment on the attached Google Slide (a digital Argument Tower is just as good as one made of index cards!)


ON FRIDAY, 6/4, YOU WILL PRESENT YOUR ARGUMENT TOWER TO THE CLASS

Directions: Concluding your Performance Task 2 journey: writing your Individual Written Argument, Individual Multimedia Presentation, and Oral Defense, reflect on your experience in discussing the following topics:
What did you do well?
What could you improve upon?
What would you do differently next time?
If you were sitting in the audience, what impression would you have had of the presentation?

Locate your Presentation and Oral Defense in the shared drive "Student Presentations 2020-21" that was shared with you this morning. Watch your presentation and complete the reflection. **Please note, the presentations that were done in-person are harder to hear due to your distance from my phone (the recording device). Still, much of the overall presentation can be heard if you listen closely.



Presentation Reflection must be a minimum of 2-paragraphs and (400) words. Be specific, be reflective. Entries must be in APA format.

Please be aware of your scheduled presentation date that is required of ALL AP Seminar students who are enrolled in the AP Exam. Those who are not enrolled in the AP Exam are still expected to fully participate in the IMP portion of Performance Task 2 for a class grade.
**Make-up presentations will need to be arranged prior to the originally scheduled presentation date and will need to be agreed upon by Mrs. M.

Task Directions : Individual Written Argument (2,000 words)

- Read and analyze the provided stimulus materials to identify thematic connections among
the sources and possible areas for inquiry.
- Compose a research question of your own prompted by analysis of the stimulus materials.
- Your question must relate to a theme that connects at least two of the stimulus materials.
- Gather information from a range of additional sources representing a variety of
perspectives, including scholarly work.
- Analyze, evaluate, and select evidence. Interpret the evidence to develop a well-reasoned
argument that answers the research question and conveys your perspective.
- Throughout your research, continually revisit and refine your original research question to
ensure that the evidence you gather addresses your purpose and focus.
- Identify and evaluate opposing or alternate views and consider their implications and/or
limitations as you develop resolutions, conclusions, or solutions to your research question.

Compose a coherent, convincing and well-written argument in which you:
--- Explain the significance or importance of your research question by situating it within a
larger context.
--- Establish a well-organized argument that links claims and evidence and leads to a specific
and plausible conclusion, resolution or solution that addresses your research question.
--- Integrate at least one of the stimulus materials as part of your argument. (For example,
as providing relevant context for the research question or as evidence to support
relevant claims.)
--- Evaluate different perspectives by considering objections to them, and their limitations
and/or implications.
--- Include relevant evidence from credible sources to support your claims. You should
include evidence from scholarly work.
--- Cite all sources that you have used, including the stimulus materials, and include a list of
works cited or a bibliography.
--- Use correct grammar and a style appropriate for an academic audience.

❯ Abide by the 2,000-word limit (excluding footnoted citations, bibliography, and text in
figures or tables). Word count does include titles, sub-headings, and in-text citations.
❯ Remove references to your name, school, or teacher.
❯❯❯ We will upload your document to the AP Digital Portfolio after we cycle papers through a Peer Review process. Prepare to submit your final IWA by Thursday, 4/29.
