<p>do you realize how many people are taking the exam? lol… 9% of the number of people who got 5’s is still a lot of people.</p>
<p>yeah but a lot of people take it because theyre forced to, and purposely fail it</p>
<p>Is giant AHAP packet good???</p>
<p>The only time period I have trouble on is the late 1800’s with the reconstruction/strike stuff…</p>
<p>someone name key points? :)</p>
<p>I’m betting that the DBQ will be on either Jacksonian Democracy OR progressivism.</p>
<p>*<strong><em>. I’ve done minimal studying and I’m going to be in deep *</em></strong> tomorrow is all I have to say.</p>
<p>I am confident in MC but I don’t know how I can really prepare for the FRQ… I practiced my DBQs by planning them in 15 mins but I don’t have patience to write the whole essay =/</p>
<p>I think we’ll all do well on Friday… just “pre-game” jitters :]</p>
<p>would any one happen to have the answers to the 1984 and the 1988 APUSH tests</p>
<p>What’s the right way to cite those docs in your dbq essay? My teacher said we should never write “In Document A,” “As seen in Document B” etc and we should write the documents’ names if we use them in the sentence (“In Martin Luther King’s speech”), but some people said they cited by writing (Document A) at the end of the sentence.
So can someone clarify that best way to cite those docs?</p>
<p>Yah…my plan of action is one reading of Crash Course…</p>
<p>I had 1984, 1988 answers, give me your email address I send them to you. Don’t feel like typing them.</p>
<p>A really good way to cite documents when you don’t want to use those to back up your thesis is to say this:</p>
<p>For example, imagine you only have 4 documents to back up your thesis EFFECTIVELY. You want to use two more. A creative way to do this is to look for documents that you are neutral to. You could say:</p>
<p>Although Person A has similar opinions about [made up topic], this is where he is wrong. And then you SAY what is wrong and then you ANALYZE your ideas are superior to Person A.</p>
<p>Another clever way to bring in documents is to just go the old fashioned way:</p>
<p>Use your expert math skills when they have data table documents to make a CORRECT assumption. For example African American voter output in FDR’s first election:
You could say:
There was a 20% increase in the amount of black voters who voted for Hoover and those who voted for FDR. Therefore, FDR’s policies clearly were favorible to African Americans blah blah blah… [ at the end put (Doc A.)]</p>
<p>NEVER,NEVER give some random statistic and don’t cite. Most people, thinking that this is outside info bring up random facts such as there was 20% loyalists around american revolution. THIS IS WRONG!
The Ap grader will assume you made this up… so always, always cite your documents and be very focused in writing :)</p>
<p>Huh, you just said don’t cite, then you said cite o.O</p>
<p>lol, i just read my post back again.</p>
<p>if you have some statistic that isn’t in the documents, don’t say it at all.
if you make an educated assumption from the documents, cite it.</p>
<p>It’s best not to refer directly to documents - instead, use them (in combination with outside info) to support your ideas. I have always heard that the appropriate way to cite documents is using parentheses at the end of the sentence. Example: If the DBQ topic is treatment of Native Americans during the mid-19th century and Document A is an account of the Chivington (or Sand Creek) Massacre, you might say:</p>
<p>With the approval of the government, the U.S. Army treated Native Americans in a hostile, aggressive manner that ultimately resulted in the slaughter of many Plains Indians (Doc. A). </p>
<p>Note: I purposely chose Native American treatment for the example above. I think that the last DBQ on the subject was 1980 and the most recent FRQ on Native American treatment was 1997/1998?, so we’re definitely due for one sometime soon.</p>
<p>Can somebody explain the battle of wounded knee?</p>
<p>The only important “native american” info. I can think of is </p>
<p>Dawes Act
Ghost Dance
Plains Indians and the dying of buffalos/railroads
Cherokee Nation vs. Georgia
Worcester vs. Georgia
Trail of Tears</p>
<p>14 hours left…shoot me</p>
<p>I’m going to go over the supreme court cases later, then the 1880s-1920s (social , political stuff). I kinda forget that stuff.</p>
<p>@powebomb. The battle of wounded knee , is the last Native american battle with US troops, which was in 1890.</p>
<p>Hey,</p>
<p>Can someone go over the New Deal?</p>
<p>I’ll catch you later,

<p>Guys, since Jackson always comes up I think you might find this helpful:</p>
<pre><code> Jacksononian Democracy
Power to the People!
</code></pre>
<p>8 ways in which politics was democraticized:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>The number of eligible voters increased.</p></li>
<li><p>Popular votes determined who would represet a state in the electoral college (rather than being chosen by state leg).</p></li>
</ul>
<p>-Some offices that were formerly appointed became elected. (spoils system;rotation).</p>
<p>-Written ballots replaced public votes (privacy better protected).</p>
<ul>
<li>Some political parties began holding public nominating conventions to select a party’s candidate, allowing more voter input.</li>
</ul>
<p>-Political parties began holding campaigning to lure voters to the polls, politicaians directly appealed to the “common man” for support.</p>
<p>-Reinvigorated 2-party system.</p>
<ul>
<li>“Rotation” in office allowed more people to directly participate in the gov’t.</li>
</ul>
<p>I hope this was helpful :)</p>
