If you get a 55 on your MC and 5s on all your writing, you will still have a 5.</p>
It’s funny to me, that I can honestly get 45 out of 80 on the MC, then get 4’s on all of the essays, and STILL get a passing grade. This won’t be as hard as I thought it was…</p>
natalie9494, my history teacher told our class to group related ideas/trends.</p>
Chances are you’ll be able to use one of your groups on your FRQ.</p>
Examples:
African American History
Gender roles
Presidency
Economy
Religion & Reform
Supreme Court Cases</p>
If you group them then you can easily pull them out of a hat. A lot easier than memorizing 500+ terms.</p>
yeahh but i feel like the curve won’t be as easy this year ):</p>
OKAY, so native americans…
dawes act, and then what half repealed the dawes act?! ):</p>
Well there is no guessing penalty anymore</p>
can anyone give me a quick list of the causes and results of the great depression? it would be much appreciated</p>
Yeah that slaves one was suspect along with the Largest source for income.</p>
EXTRA POINTS FOR THE ESSAY “THE WEATHERMEN” ADD TWO POINTS IF YOU MENTION THAT THEY GOT THEIR NAME FROM A LINE IN A DYLAN SONG. “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.”</p>
omg godzilla THANK YOU</p>
My best advice is that, if you really don’t know that much about either prompt on sections B or C, pick the one you know best and just go with what you do know. Maybe writing about the stuff you do know will help jog your memory with stuff you may have forgotten. This definitely helps me, especially on the DBQ.</p>
Most likely essay topics
the revolution
jeffersonian democracy
foreign policy in the 1920s
the 1960s</p>
^ Where’d you come up with that? Hahah :D</p>
Ugh if the FRQ is 20th century im done 
I didn’t have time to review it that much…</p>
omgggg ME TOO
i only know the oldstuff /:</p>
What exactly characterized the Gilded Age?</p>
Political corruption and machines, business monopolies and trusts, forgettable presidents like Cleveland and Harrison, immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe instead of Northern and Western.</p>
Fun fact for an essay: the name comes from Mark Twain.</p>
Gilded Age- (this is what I will write my essay about)</p>
-Extreme industrialization, Taylorism (idea that scientific efficiency helped manufacturing)
-Conveyer belts lowered job skills requirements ( for example, one person only has to screw on a door onto the left side of a car 500 times a day in a conveyer belt)
-Chinese Exclusion Act (After americans took advantage of asian’s cheap labor to build the railroads, they kicked them out)
-Advantages and disadvantages of trusts
-Looking backwards by edward Bellamy (exposed the corrupt relationship between employees and bosses in corporations)
-Jacob Riis “How the Other half lives” exposed poverty
-Boss Tweed represented political corruption</p>
BASICALLY---- Gilded Age ( was a term from Mark Twain) represented a time that seemed like awesome industrialization and that the country was headed for an all time high, but in reality much corruption and poverty were “Gilded” under the golden shell.</p>
If you want any of my other essay plans, feel free to ask. It helps me prepare too</p>
Haha exact opposite for me… with the exception of the War of 1812, if it’s in between the Am Rev and the Reconstruction, I don’t know it xD</p>
jd are you preparing any essays pre-Reconstruction?</p>
I am PRAYING that the FRQ isn’t 20th century, if it is i could literally go from a 4 to a 2 haha…</p>
EDIT- serenen, I could if you want me to. I’m totally solid on 1600-1800</p>
