Writing+Workshop

The FRQ constitutes 15% of your class grade and 25% of your AP Test Score. Now that we actually have some U.S. historical knowledge, we need to begin reviewing what we have learned and practicing critical writing skills that will help you perform well in class and the exam. Every few classes, we will have Writing Workshop time to help improve in this area. I will give you practice FRQ prompts from past exams. You will be required to post responses that take you no more than 30 minutes to write. When you are assigned writing workshop, the questions will be given to you in class and are due on our [|AP U.S. NING SITE] by 8:00 A.M. of the next class period for your peers and me to critique.

When approaching your questions, please use the tips from The FRQ & You. The goal of this activity is to give you test preparation practice, so I encourage you not to look at your textbook, notes, or any other sources when composing your essays. Try to make this a legitimate practice exercise for you so that you will perform better on these prompts in class or exams. These will be graded based on completion and effort and will help boost your overall FRQ score as long as you post them on time and with adequate effort.
