Students used the supplies while analyzing stimulus materials, annotating sources, organizing evidence, and participating in structured team discussions aligned to the AP Seminar rubric. During a recent workshop, students used the materials to outline claims, connect evidence to reasoning, and practice academic conversations required for the Team Multimedia Presentation and Individual Research Report. These tools helped students engage more deeply in inquiry-based learning and collaborative analysis.\r\n\r\nStudents responded positively and with a strong sense of motivation. Many recognized that the materials directly supported the demands of an AP-level course, especially the need for organization, sustained focus, and collaboration. Having the proper supplies made students feel more confident and prepared to meet AP Seminar expectations.\r\n\r\nStudents are now using the resources to revise and strengthen their performance task work, including refining research questions, improving evidence selection, and preparing written and presentation components aligned to AP Seminar scoring guidelines. These next steps will culminate in polished arguments and presentations that demonstrate critical thinking, research literacy, and effective communication—key outcomes of all AP courses.","fullyFundedDate":1758799469121,"projectUrl":"project/launching-ap-opening-doors-to-collegebo/9714754/","projectTitle":"Launching AP: Opening Doors to CollegeBound","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rashid","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7077097_orig.png?crop=1017,1017,x25,y7&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1620053962220","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7077097"},{"teacherId":7077097,"projectId":9767409,"letterContent":"We used the new resources to successfully plan and run our school's Kindness Carnival.

The kids were so excited to have new materials and especially excited when they learned they were open ended supplies that could be used in conjunction with other materials. We have started implementing STEM days in our centers where we explore a real world problem, research things, plan out responses and then get to test ideas. One day we looked at bridge building, researched materials and procedures and then added in our own ideas. Using the bridge building STEM kit we were able to try out theories on a small scale and see if it thinking was logical and what other issues might arise. This critical thinking has been huge for my kids, slowing then to gain confidence, life skills and a rich academic vocabulary!","fullyFundedDate":1762265323936,"projectUrl":"project/full-steam-ahead/9672324/","projectTitle":"Full STEAM Ahead!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fitzgerald (Bailey)","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3417663_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1452822243112","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3417663"},{"teacherId":7077097,"projectId":9273813,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping us celebrate our younger students with gifts and goodie bags!
