Experience Description: Some of you have greatly enjoyed playing the iCivics games as an intro/way to reinforce your knowledge from previous reading. Here are some of my recommendations for ones that will help you reflect on processes we have learned throughout the year:
Branches of Power: Test your knowledge of checks and balances by maintaining the delicate Constitutional balance of power!
NewsFeed Defenders: You’ve written research papers on how insidious fake news and poor framing of a news story can be, now theoretically fight it! Put your skills to the test identifying false information on a social media newsfeed.
Executive Command: Want to think through some presidential decision-making? Then try your hand at this game and take the time to evaluate whether the scenarios you’re presented with fully depict the presidency as you’ve learned it.
Counties Work: We don’t spend much time on local government given that the AP course is mostly about the federal government and its processes, but you can gain some insight into different projects local governments can accomplish in this game.

Experience Description: From Mr. Macula:

“Many cultural sites are trying their best to offer virtual exhibitions and tours during this time as they cannot be open.

Linked are some sites which I used to help reconstruct my time studying in Paris.

Versailles, the palace of Louis XIV, more village than palace and absolutely gorgeous. It even has a VR tour!

Musee D'Orsay is the Louvre's modern art collection and my favorite museum because of its collections and just how beautiful the building is. It is housed in a train station that was built for the World's Fair.

The Louvre is a behemoth of a museum. It definitely provides multiple days of visits. I especially enjoyed the Gothic art galleries as I had spent quite a bit of time on that period and style when I studied art history. The Egyptian antiquities provided as virtual tour are also quite fascinating.

Unfortunately, the bakery I lived across from does not provide the same accommodation as these museums. I miss the smell and the absolute wonder of seeing all the new pastries and bread in the morning.

I stayed at the dormitories attached to the Vincentian fathers' rectory and chapel, located above the preserved remains of St. Vincent de Paul. Given the Easter season has just passed, I gave you a Catholic travel guide's commentary on the remains in the links below. It may provide good insight into our upcoming unit on post classical, medieval Europe. ”

You have the power to change the world. The UN needs your help to stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).

We are living in unprecedented times. The World Health Organization (WHO) is leading and coordinating the global health response to coronavirus, helping to ensure all countries are ready to prevent, detect and respond to the pandemic. To be effective we need people everywhere to adopt public health precautions, act in solidarity, and prevent the spread of misinformation.

The United Nations (UN) needs your help in translating critical public health messages, into work that will engage and inform people across different cultures, languages, communities and platforms. The shortlisted work will reach everyone, everywhere.

We need your submissions from day 1. The UN will continually review the submissions, and shortlist the most suitable work to become visible on a microsite, and accessible to everyone - supporting media, brands, influencers etc - around the world, who can download and use the work across their platforms in support of this cause.

It is not too late. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something. Together, we can save lives, protect resources and care for each other.
