How to SAQ Original by Sean Harris-Campf, Holy Names Academy Redesign by Joshua Fahler, Dawson HS

SAQ Overview What types of questions are asked? How are they scored? SAQ will come from the Key Concepts and Thematic Learning Objectives Each SAQ will deal with at least one Historical Thinking Skill How are they scored? 1 point per part, 3 points per question How do I get an A? For now, we’ll do half points if you are close On the AP test, you probably need to earn 7 of 9 points on the 3 SAQs to be on track to earn a 5

SAQ Formatting Must write within square space, no exceptions Do each part of the question (typically A, B, C) separately, not as one paragraph with all 3 responses Each response can be a good sentence or two. Try to be brief and accurate Must be complete sentences. No bullet points.

Types of Questions WHEN IN DOUBT, A.P. ANSWER THE PROMPT Question 1: secondary source your task is to read the secondary source and analyze it using the prompts given. Be sure to refer back to the secondary source as well as the prompt in your answer. Direct quotes from the source aren’t necessary. Question 2: primary source your task is to analyze either comparison or continuity and change over time with a primary source. Again: be sure to use specific content from the source and link that evidence back to your answer. Questions 3 or 4 will NOT have a stimulus and will be more straightforward – e.g. identify, explain, or describe. Will use the skill (either comparison or CCOT) not used in question 2. You will only choose one to answer – just like before, make sure to refer back to the prompt in your answer. WHEN IN DOUBT, A.P. ANSWER THE PROMPT

SAQ Advice Pay really close attention to the verbs: describe, identify, explain, analyze, provide historical evidence We will practice multiple versions throughout the year – they are on all unit tests as well Must address question – make sure your response is appropriate to theme/learning objective/historical thinking skill AP means ANSWER THE PROMPT Image courtesy of Mr. Freeman at Freeman-pedia.com

Sample SAQ a.) Provide ONE piece of historical evidence (not specifically mentioned in the passages) that would support Powaski’s interpretation about the origins of the Cold War. b.) Provide ONE piece of historical evidence (not specifically mentioned in the passages) that would support Levering and Botzenhart-Viehe’s interpretation about the origins of the Cold War. c.) Explain ONE way in which the views of the Russian-American relationship expressed in the two passages led the authors to propose different interpretations for the origins of the Cold War.

What good responses will include (from the College Board)
