Stampede Learning is here to help with a book packed with tips, techniques, and exercises to help you CRUSH it on the writing sections of the APUSH exam. With over half of your score on the APUSH exam being based on your written responses, it's a great opportunity to score big for those who are proficient in writing. However, it may seem daunting to understand how to gain proficiency in the technical form of writing expected for the AP exam. Additionally, a tremendous amount of information is covered in a U.S. history course. These facts can add up to big challenges as you work through your AP class and prepare for the exam. This writing guide gives you a breakdown of the types of essay questions that appear on the APUSH exam. We help you learn solid writing techniques to use in your responses to the SAQ, DBQ, and LEQ prompts on the exam. This guide includes: - A description of SAQ, LEQ, and DBQ writing prompts, including similarities and differences, and a rundown of what AP readers are looking for when they read your responses; - Summaries of events, trends, and people that are essential to know for the exam; - Exercises to reinforce your understanding of key dates and events and how they relate to the exam question; - Step-by-step guidance in analyzing DBQ documents systematically, - Practice questions with sample answers to use as a model and compare your answers to after you complete them. FOR INSTRUCTORS: Because our APUSH Writing Guide is in workbook format, each student should obtain her own copy. This book is best used as an instructor-guided resource, but it can easily be used for self-guided test prep by motivated independent learners. Instructors love using this book in the classroom because grading and offering feedback on student writing is a time-consuming process; the faster students become strong writers, the more manageable the teacher's essay-grading workload becomes.
