PHS AP Government Class
Mrs. Wysocki's AP Government students formed groups to collaboratively study for the ETA in a Gallery Walk. Nine stations were created with questions about topics that will appear on the ETA. The students will answer these questions together in their group and will raise their hands for teacher remediation if needed. After students finish the assigned stations Mrs. Wysocki will go through all of the questions with the students. Students are then welcome to go back to any station where they may have missed a question to determine whether they need further teacher remediation.
