AP Review Day 1 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 Processjust 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

FRQ #1- P 73 #1Explain how English colonies in the New World were different from one

another in terms of government, population, and origin

• 1) Step #1- rewrite question using DO/WhatDO What

*notice that the question has already listed/created 3 categories that you could use as a template for your 3 paragraphs ( gov., pop, origin)

Step 2- Brainstorm (list as much information as possible about early English colonies, I mean list everything

• Virginia- Jamestown, Roanoke, Joint Stock Co., gentleman settlers, tobacco, John Smith, John Rolfe, Pocahontas, House of Burgesses

• Maryland- Lord Baltimore, Catholic Haven, Act of Toleration• Plymouth- Pilgrims/Separatists, Mayflower Compact• Massachusetts-, Puritans, City on a Hill, John Winthrop (theocracy), Visible Saints,

Halfway Covenant, Predestination, Anne Hutchinson • Rhode Island- Roger Williams, “Sewer of New England”• Connecticut- Thomas Hooker, Fundamental Orders, • New York- Henry Hudson, Dutch, Fur Trade, Duke of York• Pennsylvania- William Penn, Quakers, Advertising, land and rivers• South Carolina- West Indies/Sugar Plantations, law of primogeniture, Rice, Slavery

(Barbados Slave Code), Charleston (wealthy)• Georgia- James Oglethorpe, Penal Colony, Buffer Colony, Oligarchy

– 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)

Step 3- Create a thesis statement that answers the question Explain how the English colonies in the New World were different from one another in terms of government, population, and origin

• 1) Repeat part of the question– The English colonies, though founded by people from

the same country, were vastly different from one another because…

• 2) three arguments– the level of democracy and citizen participation in

government varied from colony to colony, (arg #1)– English colonies were very diverse as different types

of people settled in each colony, (Arg #2)– and the colonies were founded for not only economic

opportunity, but also for freedom of religion and persecution in Europe. (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

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
