AP Review Day 2 Ch 1-4 Handouts- explain two handouts (very good for review and essay development) FRQ- Free Response Question- Essay Each student is to write 3 essays for the AP Exam 1 DBQ ( 1 hr to write- 15 minutes read docs, 15 minutes to prepare essay, 30 min to write 2 Frqs (there are 4 choices on which to write) each essay has 35 minutes of time to write- 10 min to develop essay, 25 min to write 2 FRQs pre-Civil War 2 FRQs post Civil war Choose one FRQ from each time period

FRQ Process just like writing a regular essay or DBQ without the documents 1) Re-write Question DO/ What 2) Brainstorm- list as many facts and ideas as your can about the essay subject, hopefully you can see themes and develop an idea of what you can write about looking at your brainstorm (much like you would w the DBQ ID/Sum/OI 3) Thesis- write a 1 or 2 sentence answer to the question (make sure your thesis answers the question w 2 or 3 themes/arguments that you can input your brainstormed OI as evidence 4) Cluster- simply input the argument and OI that will be used in each paragraph (you do not need to include explanations here unless they are popping off in your head and you want to get your explanations on paper before you forget that idea) Remember, the goal here is to finish and create a quality essay in the giving time to write (35 minutes) by trying to come up with 1) a strong thesis 2) as much OI as possible (9-12) 3) strong analysis/explanations that prove how your OI answers your question (you are not simply listing facts but applying those facts to answer the question

1) Step #1- rewrite question using DO/What DO What FRQ #1- P 73 #1 How justified were the Americans in initiating a revolution against Great Britain after nearly 150 years of British Administration? In your answer, make certain to address the political relationship between Britain and the American colonies 1) Step #1- rewrite question using DO/What DO What *besides looking at the political relationship between GB and colonies, don’t forget the economic relationship and whether American responses were appropriate or driven by radicals

Step 2- Brainstorm (list as much information as possible about the causes of the Revolutionary War, I mean list everything Acts- Proclamation of 1763, Admiralty Courts, Stamp Act, Declaratory Act, Townsend Act, Tea Act, Quebec Act, Intolerable Acts (Boston Port Bill, Quartering Act, Mass. Gov. Act) British Ideas- Benign Neglect, Virtual Representation, mercantilism, charter, Natural Rights, colonial governments (House of Burgesses, Mayflower Compact) Responses-, Boycott, No taxation W/out representation, Committees of Inspection/ Sons of Liberty, Committees of Correspondence, Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, Common Sense, 1st Continental Congress, Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, Olive Branch Petition If you don’t know some of these terms up here, you know what to do next! If you want to pass, make sure you have a vault of information and facts that you have remember or memorized (note cards) The AP part of this test is now applying what you have learned into your own essay/argument 2 pt e.c. if you define every term on this slide (preferably note cards)

1) Repeat part of the question Step 3- Create a thesis statement that answers the question How justified were the Americans in initiating a revolution against Great Britain after nearly 150 years of British Administration 1) Repeat part of the question Americans were justified in initiating a revolution against Great Britain because… 2) three arguments Americans felt their traditional liberties were be threatened, (Arg. #1) a series of unfair laws convinced Americans that they needed more say in government decisions,(Arg #2) and the colonies were at an age where they felt they were growing apart from England and were ready to unite and create their own nation, separate from Britain. (Arg #3)

Argument (you don’t have to write a sentence, just know what part of the thesis this cluster is about OI#1- write down the term (you do not need to include def b/c you already have memorized it OI#2- write down the term (you do not need to include def b/c you already have memorized it OI#3- write down the term (you do not need to include def b/c you already have memorized it Explanation- it is not necessary to write anything here unless you already have some analysis that is in your head and you will forget it Don’t stop and think now, get to writing Explanation- it is not necessary to write anything here unless you already have some analysis that is in your head and you will forget it Don’t stop and think now, get to writing Explanation- it is not necessary to write anything here unless you already have some analysis that is in your head and you will forget it Don’t stop and think now, get to writing

Create a cluster- remember, time is of the essence and you want to quickly formulate a frame that will allow you to organize your ideas, write quickly and effectively without getting lost, and even add on to the essay as ideas flow into your mind as you write
