there is an old joke that goes around ap teachers that ap should stand for answer the prompt. that is more than just summarizing and writing about the documents. jason is right. that is excellent advice. do a little bit of a quick brainstorm, think about how you might organize your argument, try to develop two or three categories, and go ahead if they had given you the categories in the prompt, use those categories. even if they have not, remember, the prompts are based on reasoning skills. if it is a causation essay, ask yourself what are two or three causes or effects, and make sure to do the same if it is continuity in change or comparison, which is similarity and difference. guest: something else jesse's question brings to mind is after you have taken the step where you look at the question and you have thought about possible answers, and you maybe have generated the beginning of an argument and jotted down a word or two to help you remember it, when you go to the documents, keep in mind that when you are looking at the documents, they will help trigger outside information

time is of the essence on this year's ap exam. students have less time than they have ever had before, 45 minutes to read, think, outline, and most importantly write this essay. and then about a five-minute submission window. college board has actually said you have 50 minutes total. not a second more than that. as much as i would love for students to fully outline, there is not time for that. maybe a brief, quick outline. jot down your main points, plug in your documents, plug in outside information, but then you have to go, because, as jason said you want a multi-paragraph, maybe three, four, five paragraph essay, and you need time to submit the essay to college board all within 50 minutes. so time is of the essence. students need to move quickly. it is only the written essay that will be graded, not the outline. guest: i used to instruct my students to read the dbq question first and maybe take a minute or two to think about how they would answer the question if it were just an essay question without documents. now i am interes
