<p>I broke it up as</p>
<p>Docs from the 1500s and docs from the Enlightenment period. I analyzed and placed the documents well while tying them back into those two periods. </p>
<p>The russian one was the manual on how to raise a child or something.</p>
<p>ugh, yeah, I didn't really like the DBQ. I thought I did alright on the FRs...I did the impact of WWII on women and divided that up into western europe and eastern/soviet/fascist Europe. And I wrote about France and England and their deep rooted rivalry that lead to numerous wars in the 1700s...ehh, the organisation could have been better but I had considerable expertise on the subjects and well, kind of went on until my hand hurt too much to write any more.</p>
<p>I grouped them into holding their views of children with Contempt, Reason and Violent Actions.</p>
<p>teh russian document was a household magazine, i think it was Document 3 but im not 100% sure. I put it as saying that you shouldn't be too leniant but not too strict with kids...while it meant to say that you should beat your kids :(</p>
<p>ladyheidi, i did the british-french rivalry as well. i put their economic rivalry was fueled by mercantilism, and geopolitical due to the imperialism craze that mercantilism promoted.</p>
<p>I thought i did okay. My MC was fine, i left one blank though because i couldn't remember which philosopher thought what.</p>
<p>My DBQ was amazing, especially compared to what i did in class and on previous tests :) My first essay was meh... but my second was alright.</p>
<p>I'm looking at a 3-4 ish. Maybe a 5 if my graders are nice.</p>
<p>too lazy to read through...</p>
<p>what raw score will get you a 3? I read 69 some where, but someone said 99</p>
<p>I loved the multiple choice but was extremely embarrassed by the FRQs. Unlike everyone I've seen, I wrote very little (2.5 for the DBQ, 1.75 on USSR, and 2 on French Revolution), probably because I had never written any essays [school does not offer the class and I ran out of time to do any practice].</p>
<p>My DBQ was terrible. I had no clue what to say and ended up writing my last paragraph about something that should have been first. Ugh, yeah...it was bad.</p>
<p>I had known nothing about the Soviet Union until the night before, when I read about it in my Barron's review book. I talked about Stalin's death and how much he had accomplished despite his negative actions and then about Khrushchev's leading to de-Stalinization and the effects of that on the Soviet satellites. That was in the 1950s and then I skipped to the 1980s (probably not good). I made up most of what happened there and ended up missing many major things, but it was basically correct, just lacking.</p>
<p>My essay on the French Revolution, I now know, was not too great either. Essentially, I crammed all the things I thought were bourgeois achievements into a paragraph of random sentences and never even addressed any role of the other members of the Third Estate. </p>
<p>I felt demoralized after the Free Response.</p>
<p>I wrote a little less than a page and a half for each of my FRQ's. My teacher said that content was more important then length (and he's one of the readers). I've always been brief in my writings; could never right a novel. I once had a FRQ exam in class where I wrote merely a little over a page, but still got a 7.</p>
<p>yeah i agree with the quality over quantity thing.
for my second frq, i wrote about 2 pages and i wanted to add more, but there was nothing more to add. i didn't b/s around, you see. i got exactly to the point.</p>
<p>How harshly do readers grade DBQs in terms of bias/POV? I just went to AP Central and read three sample DBQ responses from last year's test. The one that got a 5 seemed like it analyzed bias/POV sufficiently, but apparently the reader didn't think so. Do you have to go really in depth with the motivation/purpose behind the documents, or is a short sentence like "this document is biased because the writer, as a Jesuit, is influenced by _____" enough?</p>
<p>Incidentally, I also read the DBQ that got a 9 and thought it was seriously lacking in the literary merit department (although I do understand that this is a Euro test, not an English test). It didn't do anything BESIDES analyze bias/POV; I didn't even see any well-defined groupings. Hmm. Odd.</p>
<p>by the way, what's the bias/POV u r talking abt? I have never heard those things! like, r we supposed to talk abt these in DBQ?!</p>
<p>finally..............i grouped the dbqs by German, French, and British views on children, is that ok?</p>
<p>and yes, the essay on rapid urbanization was so EASY, I listed and explained so many things, for the essay on the french revolution [frq 7], I wrote about women as my group, and I wrote bout the storming of the bastille, the great fear, and the women's march...............my dbq i expect a 6/7 but on my frqs [both of them], I am expecting both 9's........</p>
<p>document 1, what did you guys use this to talk about? there were some different views of it from my school.</p>
<p>for my dbq i did</p>
<p>assumed they needed <3
(child rearing practices =ed nurturing)
assumed they needed discipline
(ch-rearing =ed whipping, strictness)
assumed they needed a role model/freedom/balance
(ch-rearing =ed let grow into own mistakes)</p>
<p>i grouped according to the assumptions and elluded some in the paragraphs to how each doc person child-reared according to their stance and then at the end of each body paragraph i summed up my analysis of child-rearing techniques for each like "those who assumed children were _____ generally adopted child-rearing practices like __<strong><em>,</em></strong><strong><em>,and _</em></strong> (with a little bit more than that).</p>
<p>for the FRQs i switched essays twice but ended up with </p>
<h1>4</h1>
<p>oppourtunities: more capital to invest (ex. for colonization), new inventions/greater technology (ex. useful in wartime conditions), somethign else too?
problems: squeeze out urban workers, bad factory working conditions/standard of living, another something i can't remember?</p>
<p>and #7 (i'm more sketchy on this except for the middle class)
identified groups of third estate
women: wanted bread prices fair and a say in rights, etc.
peasants: wanted more economic equality, social mobility (i kind of made up the s.m. thing but i think that's sort of right?)
and
bourgeosie/middle class: wanted to abolish aristtocratic privilege and wanted equality in the law</p>
<p>so i "identified" those in my intro and then "analyzed" the middle class acheivement of their greivances with</p>
<p>storming of the bastille
great fear
tennis court oath
october 4th decree</p>
<p>i actually wrote my whole essay using "peasants" POV but about the same stuff as above^^ but when i wrote oct 4th i knew i'd have to change it all to middle class so i went back and wrote middle class over every "peasants" that i crossed out :]</p>
<p>sigh. i'm just glad it's over.</p>
<p>i think i said #1 was that they needed a role model (grew to act like his father/an adult)</p>
<p>ballin4ever, I also did women as my Third Estate group! Although I coudln't really remember muc more than the women's march, I believe that's the only thing performed specificallly by women right? Bastille thing was probably done by males? (I may be wrong though) But, I still talked abt Bastille though. For the urbanization, I found more problems than opportunities, thus talked and focued basically on problems.</p>
<p>omg ziller, you have the SAME exact gourpings as me.
what documents did you use for the last one, the one with the balance?</p>
<p>also what did you guys put for Document 3, the one on Russian household managing? did you even use it???</p>
<p>from my interpretation of it, since he uses the word awkward, i grouped that with the view that children are different and weird. i know he says that he followed his father and liked to learn, etc., but i think the view of children was that they were weird. did anyone else get this? because if not, i'm getting like a 4/5 on the dbq.</p>
<p>asifkhan, I think that we wrote the exactly same things................haha
the great fear included women and men, and the storming of the Bastille was done by both as well.............and I also talked about how the women hated Marie Antoinette because of her extravagant lifestyle.........and my biggest point yet...........women wanted more rights........FEMINISM...............I talked about Olympe de Gouges and the Declaration of the Rights of Woman............then I explained everyone and summed it up so I think I did well............</p>
