Today, the instructor and the students provided examples of DBQ and FRQ questions from the 2009 Practice Exam. The students were exposed to the actual questions and the submitted students responses in each category (with corresponding rubrics).
At the close, the instructor discussed the grading formula (as a review) and the impact of the multiple-choice versus essay section of the AP test. In addition, students asked specific questions about "hot topics" and areas to review tonight and Thursday before coming for the actual test in the MPR.
Tonight's Homework: Study for Friday's AP Exam (review books and past materials).
About Me
- Mr. Gull
- Before I became a high school history teacher, I spent 14 years in the corporate world where I specialized in Healthcare Administration. In addition, I spent 3 1/2 years participating in professional sports (Satellite Professional Tennis Tour and Professional Golf Mini-Tours). In 2005, I found I really loved working in the classroom, so I returned to graduate school to earn my Masters degree in Education. I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING ANYTHING ELSE...I LOVE WORKING WITH MY STUDENTS!
