On Monday, February 15th and Tuesday, February 16th I delivered presentations to two separate APUSH classes on my independent inquiry. Mr. Welckle was gracious enough to allow me to speak for the first 15-20 minutes of the class, even given the extremely tight AP scheduling such a course demands. As my audience was primarily juniors, I wanted to direct my presentation to inspire other students to engage in their own independent inquiry about whatever they are passionate about. I touched on the content I had been researching the past semester but then delved further into the opportunity ASIJ offers for independent learning, the privileges and pitfalls of that endeavor, and concluded with the fundamental importance of learning history. My slide presentation can be viewed through Google Drive.
