Ever since the College Board changed its wording for their DBQ and LEQ prompts to "Evaluate the extent to which..." students have been confused about how to understand them.
At the end of the day, the "Evaluate the extent to which" language is there to force you into an argument. It's asking you to weigh different pieces of evidence and then write a nuanced, complex, and historically defensible DBQ or LEQ.

@isabelllee7057 3 жыл бұрын

Note to self: it’s trying to get you to choose which is the most significant. Force you into a stand, a lot of something or a little of something. If neither then it’s a continuity. Evaluate to the extent to which- how much did (blank) affect/change (blank) -choose a lot or a little or continuity -weigh your options and argue contradicting documents so that they fit your essay

BIG QUESTION: will there be unit reviews/overviews for all the other units in APUSH? Those help me so much, and if the rest of them show up I'll be watching those right before the AP. Otherwise I'll spend more time watching all the individual vids, which is okay, but I find the unit reviews super helpful to cement the main details in my mind. Got a 5 on a practice test, thanks so much and keep it up!

@@SimplyMiPrii I took a practice test in Barron's APUSH test prep book. I have found Barron's tests to be very helpful in studying for the College Board's tests. Using their materials, along with Khan Academy, I was able to get a 1530 on the SAT and a 770 on SAT Subject test for Biology. If anything, their tests are slightly harder than the actual thing, which I find helpful. Their material is also very clear and easy to follow.

Hi Mr. Heimler In general, are the DBQs or LEQs more harder (for APWH). I feel like DBQs would take much longer and more brain power to comprehend - but the LEQs just seem like you're writing from memory solely...

Mr. Heimler, on the essays, can we start our thesis statement with a counter argument and then put our argument/claim? Example: Even though some may claim that the North achieved their Reconstruction goals, I claim that the South best achieved its Reconstruction goals.
