FRQ Practice
essays, review No Comments »Here is a list of previously asked FRQ’s. This is to give you an idea of what types of questions are asked and what kind of information you might need to know. Remember–we CANNOT predict what the topics will be, but you will have to choose 2 topics from 4 questions from different time periods.
Review Games
review No Comments »These are the games we have played for each unit exam. I will be working on one for the final unit (7) since we didn’t play one in class.
Primary Sources
Primary Source Docs, Resources, review No Comments »Remember–primary (1st)–a quote from the Declaration of Independence is a primary source. Your textbooks written paragraph about the Declaration of Independence is a secondary source. You want PRIMARY SOURCES only!
Also, review old DBQs you have taken–your documents (primary sources) should look just like those do. When you give the source information you are giving the author/speaker/creator, book/magazine/newspaper/speech/etc, date. (You are NOT giving any website information–websites did NOT exist in your time periods to be used as primary source material!!!!)
Search words to try: APUSH primary sources; APUSH dbq documents; APUS history primary sources; 1776 independence primary source (this works for any time period/topic).
Here are some websites to help in the search:
