Lesson Topic
Unit 5: Political Participation Review
Lesson Outline
Marcel was given another practice test assignment on Monday to be completed for class today. He completed some M/C answers and FRQ written responses for me to review - but he did not complete the entire practice test. Marcel says he wants to focus more on content review and he wanted to go back to Unit 5 where the main concepts are: 1) Civic participation in a representative democracy, 2) Competing policy-making interests, 3) Methods of political analysis. We discussed causes, primaries, the electoral college, delegates, conventions, Baker v. Carr. We worked on some AP practice questions for the last 30 min. of class.

Lesson Comments
Marcel only completed 27 out of 55 M/C questions. Of the 27 he answered, he scored 59%. He also only completed one FRQ (free response question) when there are 4 FRQs on the actual AP exam and on his practice test. His written FRQ response was overly verbose. We discussed how he missed some of the main points in the question. If he just sticks to the main points in his responses, he will gain time and most important, address the main issues and earn the maximum points per question.
