Post-AP Exam teaching ideas

Many people have time left in the school year after the AP Exam. Using that instructional time wisely is often a dilemma. I usually assigned some kind of project that was based on a theme (meme?) that had come up during the semester (e.g. comparative human rights, parties in other democratic regimes like India, Japan, Germany, Brazil...).

I've uploaded a couple new teaching ideas for the post-AP Exam period to the sharing comparative group site.

The first, from Don Myers in Bellevue, Washington, is a responsive essay based on an op-ed piece (link provided) by a political scientist who is also a partisan activist. It's titled "Evaluation of Liberty."

The second is a research/presentation/discussion/writing project titled, "Post-Exam Project 1." (It's #1, because I expect some of you will be able to contribute ideas after you've tried them out.)
