Since I teach in New York, even though we're a private school, we have about three or four weeks of classes after the AP exam. We work on eco-columns during this time, but I don't need all of the class periods to work on this. We spend about half of the class time taking measurements from the eco-columns and then we've been watching The Martian during the second half of class. In the end, I think we'll take 4 days to finish the movie. I want this time in class to be low key, but not so low key that students completely check out. Instead of a long sheet of questions to fill out as students watch the movie, I decided to ask Gemini to make an FRQ using task verbs and topics from AP Environmental Science that corresponds to the Martian. This allows students more practice for FRQs since they still have a final exam to take for me, but is still not a huge assignment.
I was happy with what Gemini gave me and appreciated the rubric that goes along with it.
Here's a link to the Martian FRQ. The rubric comes right after the FRQ itself.
