Grace Payne has earned the Girl Scout Gold Award, the
highest honor and achievement a girl can earn in Girl Scouts.
A motivated and dedicated student, Grace decided to use her
Gold Award project, “Educational Videos for AP Students,” to help her peers
better prepare for their Advanced Placement (AP) Art History exam. She created
online videos that were engaging and informative which allowed students to
access content at any time that would not only prepare them for the exam, but
also allow them to find ways to relate to the information they were learning
during the course. Grace also created a lesson plan and supplied materials to
host an AP review session during class, which increased her peers’ success rate.
“My videos touch on some of the more challenging aspects of
the course, preventing students from becoming discouraged in their learning by
providing concise explanations and ways to retain the information and be
successful on the AP test,” she explained.
Grace’s project will be sustained thanks to her resources
being available online for other students to use. Her former AP Art History
teacher will also be able to help students in the future by making the videos
she made a part of his exam review before the test.
