AP U.S. DBQ "Pattern"

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation
1

<p>I have been self-studying for this exam and need a basic "pattern" (Write this in 1st paragraph, this in 2nd, etc) to follow for the DBQ. I used the pattern given in the PR book for my AP WH exam last year, but I can't find anything similar for US History. </p>

<p>The DBQ pattern for World went like this:</p>

<p>Thesis </p>

<p>Support</p>

<p>Group 1</p>

<p>Group 2</p>

<p>Group 3</p>

<p>Point of view 1</p>

<p>Point of view 2</p>

<p>Additional Document </p>

<p>Conclusion </p>

<p>Should Groupings and Points of view be included for US? What about additional Documents? Or am I better off following a mneumonic like PERSIA?</p>

<p>I know there are groupings for world, but i dont think groupings are necessary for US
But, I still tend to group docs by paras. I usually just write it like I'd write it if it were a free response. It usually has something to do with pol't, soc, or econ, so each of those would be one para. And then when I look through the docs I usually divide them up into paras</p>
