This session is designed to empower educators with strategies and resources to effectively guide high school students in writing to meet the expectations of the APUSH Rubric. Through a series of engaging activities and discussions, participants will grow in their ability for critical thinking and the development of defensible arguments. Teachers will learn how to break down the APUSH Rubric and provide targeted feedback that helps students develop strong thesis statements, organize coherent essays, and use evidence effectively. Interactive activities and collaborative exercises will focus on building essential writing skills, improving argumentation, and honing students' ability to craft essays that satisfy the requirements established by CollegeBoard. By the end of the session, educators will have a toolbox of practical techniques to support students' writing success.
