Beginning of the Year Project for AP European!

AP European History

“What I Did This Summer” Introductory Social Studies Project (20 pts) Purpose:To use 21st Century skills to develop and present a brief synopsis of how you spent your summer.

This project does several things:
 * Introduces and familiarizes the class with each other.
 * Introduces the equipment and software we use in class.
 * Gives a base-line for presentation skills.
 * Helps to introduce the concept of studying history and its importance.

Your Assignment:Using any “Multi-media” platform of your choice (i.e. PhotoStory, Windows Movie Maker, Power Point, Google Docs, Moodle,  and/ or any other platform you are aware of) create a 2 to 3 minute synopsis of “What you did this summer”.You will then stand up to present your brief Synopsis, which at minimum must include your name, and either a written explanation, visual explanation, or combination of the two.

Grading:20 Points for Completion. 10pts for time 10pts for content

These projects will be digitally handed in on "Moodle" so that we can move through the presentations rapidly in class. Failure to post project appropriately will result in loss of points!
