We completed viewing Practice Session #3 from AP Central for a review on how to write a solid LEQ (Long Essay Question). Students will have 100 minutes to write the DBQ (document based question) and one LEQ. About 40 of those 100 minutes should be spent on the LEQ. We examined a sample LEQ re: the Columbian Exchange and how it affected peoples in the Americas from 1450-1750. We went through the best step by step process to evaluate and the question and write a solid LEQ response. We then reviewed the process for the best way to approach the DBQ. On the exam students have to evaluate and incorporate 7 historic documents into their DBQ essay. This essay is the is the longest part of the exam and should take about 60 minutes to write. We've been evaluating and practicing DBQs all year. We are focusing on newer tips from AP Central and we will be doing this with Barron's, too as we continue review for the next two weeks.
