Tag scenes with AP reasoning skills, audit AP alignment, or write AP-style questions for any Witness Interactive mission. Use when adding apThemes to scenes, checking that a role covers required AP skills, or ensuring knowledge checkpoint questions map to AP exam standards.
Every scene in Witness Interactive must include at least one AP reasoning skill tag in its apThemes[] array. These tags connect the game directly to what students are tested on in AP History exams.
