<p>ive come up with this list of potential topics for this year:</p>
<p>comparison of new england/breadbasket/southern colonies
events leading up to civil war
events leading up to cold war
women's rights
black's civil rights movements
great depression/new deal</p>
<p>anybody else want to think of other topics???</p>
<p>reconstruction.
vietnam war.</p>
<p>the dbq was on women's rights last year so it isnt likely that there would be another essay on that, but anything can happen.</p>
<p>The last two years, there were questions on women's rights and social roles, so you shouldn't count it out.</p>
<p>My teacher keeps saying that the essay will probably be on immigration and/or reform movements.</p>
<p>american neutrality before wwi v. ww2</p>
<p>populists compared to Jacksonian democrats (hofstader) or compared to progressives</p>
<p>womens rights movement in relation to black civil rights movement</p>
<p>o god, the women's rights question was SO bad last year. i purposely didn't study women' rights in the hopes that it would be an optional question (that i could easy skip) but it was the freekin dbq!</p>
<p>moral of the story: don't neglect any part of history</p>
<p>dbq- civil war/reconstruction</p>
<p>man hopefully its something important (wwii etc) that u can pull alot of info back to u. If it is women's rights, man im gonna walk out then and there</p>
<p>Apparently the colonies and American Revolution were on the test quite a few times in the last few years, so they probably won't be on the test this year. </p>
<p>I just had a mock AP that was the 2002 test...the essay questions were about Jackson, Indians, the 20's and communism, while the DBQ was about the Revolution.</p>
<p>yeah, the past 3 dbq's have been before 1800... also, this year is the 400 year anniversary of Jamestown, so I think it will be before 1800, be on Vietnam, or perhaps war of 1812 (events leading up to it).</p>
<p>what it's gonna be? i have no freakin clue.
what i want it to be?</p>
<p>1) FDR/Great Depression/New Deal/WWII
2)Industrialization/Labor Reform/Child or Immigration Labor/Poor Urban Conditions</p>
<p>I've spend excessive amounts of time research topics relating to these things for National History Day. If these were the essay questions, I'd be ecstatic. If not----let's not talk about that. Specifically, my projects were on FDR's Fireside Chats; Lewis Hine and Child Labor; the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory-Labor and Fire Safety reform. If I got something that related to this, I'd definitely try to twist it as much as I can so I can put random info in. </p>
<p>i really need an easy essay. gah.</p>
<p>My amazing APUS teacher Mr. Dell'Orto made this:

<p>what do you do if you have no idea what to write for the dbq?</p>
<p>dbq's are easy! just bs based on the documents. pretend it's a research paper. the docs are your research. read the docs. bs the paper. if you have absolutely no clue of the topic you might have to spend more time than usual reading. usually the docs will jog your memory. if not, bring out your english bs writing skills (which I hope you possess).<br>
much worse if if you don't know anything about the frq. </p>
<p>of course, bs is an art. it takes much experiene to be able to write a quality bs essay. but anything is definitely better than nothing. I completely bsed my midterm dbq. I used the documents and some info from mc questions. i got a 7 so it couldnt have been too bad.</p>
