Your FRQ for Tonight

Class,

If you are somehow struggling with tonight's FRQ, here is the link to a "model" response on our topic submitted by AP Central: http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/repository/ap03_gopo_us_q2_28108.pdf

There's really no point to copy it word for word. You won't learn that way. Use this written response only as a reference if you are truly stuck. Note that the writer did not use the outline form (with letters and numbers) but wrote each paragraph to address the questions. I may put this one up on the document camera tomorrow after you guys spend some time going over each of your FRQ's with a partner. See you tomorrow.
