<p>So we were thinking about this in class, and we came up with a few possibilities for FRQs for tomorrow...</p>

<p>New Deal vs Great Society
-They haven't asked much about this lately, and the amount of information in each is good to give a student lots to write about. If the prompt was compare/contrast, like i said before, there is so much information that you can pull to argue your point. </p>

<p>Progressivism
-Could break down in social, economic, and political reforms, but again..it depends on the prompt that they give you</p>

<p>Immigration
-They could ask you to discuss two different time periods of immigration so it would go something like: English and Africans(because they had no choice), 1790-1820; Irish(Famine) and Germans(political freedom), 1820-1860; Eastern Europeans(Czechs, Slovaks, Lithuanians seeking political freedom, economic oppurtunity), 1860-1920; Hispanics(political freedom, ie Cuba) and Asians(economic oppurtunity), Post WWII. You could write about the immigration restrictions of the 1920's, opposition such as the Know Nothing(American) Party, the Klan and other nativist groups. </p>

<p>War of 1812
-I don't have much information on this, it would really suck if this was a FRQ...DBQ not so much</p>

<p>Immigration was on last year's exam. I took the exam last year, don't worry too much about it. I am sure you will do fine.</p>

<p>I just have the feeling that they're goign to ask something on the War of 1812 or the Lewis and Clark expedition... something on the industrial revolution is a possibility as well, and there they would own me.</p>

<p>Let's be cool and post today's class notes on CC, Birdman.</p>

<p>But yeah, Progressive Era seems likely.</p>

<p>I was just going to say that immigration was on last year's test, but Motormouth beat me to it. It was pretty funny actually. The DBQ for the final in my class was on immigration the week before the exam. Needless to say, I think everyone in my class picked that essay choice.</p>
