With the school year coming to a close, AP students across all subjects have taken their exams and have begun winding down in their assignments. Annually, Ms. Muench presents one of three final project options to her AP U.S. History students: write an editorial, create a bell work video, or teach a lesson to her tenth-grade honors classes. This year–with the large amount of APUSH students–most have chosen to present to the underclassmen that ties into Muench’s regular curriculum.

Ending the year as close to present day history as possible, the upperclassmen were able to choose their topics within nearly a thirty-year span. Although the period remained the same, subjects varied greatly. From tensions to culture, to protest, to significant happenings, the AP History students didn’t hesitate to demonstrate the knowledge they gained from the demanding course they took this year.

Morgan Burleigh — The Rise of Feminism
