AP US History LEQ Comparison

How do you build a thesis to prove similarities and differences in History? How do you organize decades' worth of historical evidence in an easily readable way? How do you produce a Long Essay Question (LEQ) that hits all six points on the AP History rubric in less than 40 minutes?

At Mano Koa Enterprises, we say "No Pilikia" (Hawaiian for problem). 

This product contains a collection of documents designed to give students and teachers alike multiple strategies for answering Long Essay Questions (LEQs) on the Advanced Placement History Tests. If students find themselves struggling with producing a standard product because of time constraints, Mano Koa Enterprises has developed the "short game strategy" allowing students to satisfy the same criteria but in a differentiated way.

The AP History LEQ Comparison product contains the following.

• A Standard LEQ Comparison Blueprint with sentence frames and easy to read rubric for teachers and students to plan.
• A Differentiated and sentence framed "Short Game" LEQ Comparison Blueprint designed to show students a less labor intensive/more time effective way of writing their LEQs while maintaining the same academic rigor.
• A "How to Build and Defend Your Thesis Guide" explaining the purpose of a thesis and how to develop an argument. 
• A "Ten Commandments of Academic Writing" designed to help students formalize their "voice" in academic writing. 
• A lesson plan/Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) guide designed to help teachers implement these blueprints into their curriculum. 
• An instructional manual for teachers to read and understand the finer points of implementing short and long game formats in timed writes.
