AP Language classes turned their research papers into a PowerPoint presentation. They were instructed to adjust their findings to a new medium and present to their peers -- an effective way of sharing information within a small group setting. English teacher, Mr. Kolimas, adds that he mixed the groups up and purposely did not assign them according to a particular category such as technology. He wanted his students to be exposed to a variety of topics in preparation for the upcoming AP Language exam.
