Contextualization Short Essay Question - AP Art History

Contextualization Short Essay Question - AP Art History - Print & Digital - Google Drive

The writing portion of the AP Art History exam is worth 50% of the overall exam score. Teaching the writing portion well is extremely important but also daunting. However, as it just so happens, I LOVE teaching writing - which is why I created this resource to help newbie and veteran teachers out! This step-by-step guide on approaching short essay questions will give your students the foundation they need to succeed in this class. 

Please note that while I have future lessons covering the other writing questions, I slow down and go more in-depth with the first essay type (contextualization). I recommend teaching this after you teach the White Temple and Its Ziggurat and the Statues of the Votive Figures.
