<p>Having read the AP Us Hist essay prediction, I thought it would be helpful to make this thread. Does any have a idea about what the topic will be this year??</p>
<p>gender roles / women. i've heard that they haven't had an essay yet regarding this on any of the tests and as this is part of the main themes in the course, i would believe this might be an essay topic.</p>
<p>The essay's will not be on the Mongol Empire or the Post-WWII era</p>
<p>I think maybe the triangular trade.</p>
<p>Or, even how civilizations have connected through trade.</p>
<p>I am pretty sure there would be something about trade.</p>
<p>i doubt triangular trade, damn i got lucky with that one, one of the few things i knew about world histroy.</p>
<p>Weren't there 2 triangle trades:
new england --> british west indies --> england --> new england
west africa --> west indies --> england --> west africa?</p>
<p>I always get confused with the triangle trades...</p>
<p>Any other opinion?</p>
<p>I'm expecting something that has to do with religions.</p>
<p>"Explain the spread of Islam in the 19th century and it's social, political, and economic impacts in the 19th century and today"</p>
<p>Something along those lines, etc.</p>
<p>What about how different countries viewed the west, like isolation, or trade, or imperialism.</p>
<p>Something in there...by the way how do you write the DBQ?</p>
<p>Do you quote from the documents like an English Essay, or do you just say this is explained through Doc. 3. We have done NO DBQ's this year, so I am confused.</p>
<p>I took it last year and got a 4. I'm pretty sure that I made up a city in the free response about the Mongols and Russia or whatever. Oh well...</p>
<p>Point is, it's probably not going to be Mongols or Triangular Trade (the one in the Atlantic between West Africa, the Indies, etc.)</p>
<p>in 2002 the essays were 600-1450, 1750-present, 1750-1914
in 2003 they were 1750-1914, 1000-1750, 1750-1914
in 2004 they were foundations, 1750-1914, 1914-present
in 2005 they were 600-1450, 1914-present, 1450-1750</p>
<p>foundations:l
600-1450:lll
1450-1750:ll
1750-1914:lllll
1914-present:lll</p>
<p>so maybe this means its time for a foundations question?</p>
<p>ok well based on andreaaaa's stats, i think its going to be foundations, 1450-1750, and 600-1450. also if u have practiced a lot of the essays, u should see that they definately give u a lot of 1750-present for that area so they overprepare u for that. but stilll just prepare for everything and stop the worrying about what time period the essays r going to focus :D</p>
<p>I took the test last year, the questions were, to the best of my memory:</p>
<p>Mongols in Europe/Russia, so around 1300s
Atlantic Trade during colonization/triangle trade, so 16-1700s?
The DBQ was something about Islam and Muslims.</p>
<p>There is ALWAYS something about religions.</p>
<p>Comparative or DBQ will be about comparing religions.</p>
<p>Change over time: How a religion changed.</p>
<p>DBQ: Probably the foundations period like Greece, and education, democracy.</p>
<p>Comparative: Religion</p>
<p>Change over Time: 1450-1750, pretty easy, just say that Europe began to go abroad and trade to the Americas, and know about the Renaissaince, Reformation, Scientific Revolution, and Enlightenment, as you can use all of those in explaining how Europe changed.</p>
<p>World History isn't too bad. I took it last year and got a five...so for predictions I'd say maybe something on Chinese dynasties. They had like virtually nothing on it last year.</p>
