AP Test Review Project

The attached document lists the project topics...essay questions from past AP tests as well as thematic based questions to get you to review and think about the overarching concepts/goals for learning in this course. Monday May 5th we will be given our partnerships and be able to work in the computer pod by the classroom (Tuesday also).

Presentations will commence on Wednesday. Each presentation will be stopped if it goes longer than 10 minutes in length. Points will be taken away if groups do not provide an interactive learning environment for their peers.

Please do read over all questions as this is an excellent review tool.

You should be prepared to answer broad based essay questions on the exam - you can pick the artworks you use to answer the prompt. Make sure to MEMORIZE artwork, artist, date and style/country for a few artworks that you could potentially use to answer questions...REMEMBER some artworks are rich in content...they could be used to answer a variety of questions.

The AP Test is NOON on Wednesday May 14th. if you wish to come in for tutoring, please let me know a day in advance and I'll prepare a review customized to your review goals.

You have been working hard...a few more weeks to go! Keep up the good work!
