Our Battle Plan for AP European History

Okay so here is what we know

This Exam is going to take place Wednesday May 13th at 4pm EST/5pm CST. Here is a youtube video with Tom Ritchey that explains the updates Check out this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOTShTsbTZ4

This link also goes into more detail about his DBQ advice (it should pretty familiar). https://www.tomrichey.net/the-ap-euro... This is also going to show you the new rubric for a 5 doc rubric 1450 – 1914 time frame….regrettably this is a large span from Renaissance – pre-WWI

The exam will contain NO MCQ questions 100% for sure. The format will call for ONE shortened 5 document DBQ essay. These will roughly follow the

rubric that we have used all year. See above for details You will only have 45 minutes to complete this exam. Obviously, this will give you almost NO

TIME to look up any information even though they are saying this is “open book and Open Notes.”

According to the latest information you will have to type your answers but now they are also saying that you can handwrite and then click a pic. Now, lets be true to ourselves here; if you write like me, you should type it. If you are not much of a typist (also like me) you might wish to hand write…ugh.

The Test Covers units 1 – 7 which I have provided an overview of this material below in reverse chronological order. I have provided my own notations of what we covered in class. I highly encourage you to go to the myapclassroom for more detail. They also have sample DBQ sections for each unit. I believe that they will likely pull from this for your test. I have that login information if you have not accessed the website. See Chart Below

Eastern Time: 4 p.m.

Exam timing Students will be given 45 minutes to read and respond to Question 1 and then 5 minutes to upload their response.

Question name Modified Document-Based Question (DBQ)

Question description This question presents students with 5 historical sources, 1 of which will be a non-text-based source. This question assesses students’ ability to:

Respond to the prompt with a historically defensible thesis or claim that establishes a line of reasoning.

Describe a broader historical context relevant to the prompt.

Support an argument in response to the prompt using at least 4 documents.

situation, and/or audience is relevant to an argument.

Corresponding free-response question (FRQ) type in the course and exam description binder

Modified Document-Based Question (DBQ). The prompt for the 2020 modified DBQ may be derived from any of Units 1–7, and will include 5 documents (instead of 7). The rubric will be lightly modified to match the reduced number of documents, awarding 1 point for using 2 documents and an additional point for using 4 documents. An additional point will be awarded for effectively incorporating a second piece of outside knowledge into the argument. Students can earn up to 2 points for sourcing (1 point for each document).
