  1. How to write an FRQ

  2. BEFORE YOU WRITE ANYTHING… • Read the entire question… • Read it again… • Read it again… • Maybe read it one more time…

  3. Brainstorm • Annotate • Underline key words/phrases in the question itself. Circle specific requirements of the question. • Define the term “Green Revolution…” • Give three examples… • Outline • Jot down key terms/vocabulary/examples/etc. that will be a part of your response. Make a “thumbnail outline.” • 5 FULL minutes PER FRQ • Make a list of ideas – did the question ask for 3 examples? List MORE – and then choose your best ideas and work with them and ONLY THEM. three

  4. Writing the FRQ • ALWAYS WRITE IN COMPLETE SENTENCES! • Answer the question in the order it is asked. If the question is organized “A., B., C.,” answer it “A., B., C.” Label the parts of your answer. • NO BULLET POINTS • A formal introduction is NOT needed, launch right into your answer. • Answer each section of the question COMPLETELY. When you have answered a part of the question (which you have underlined or circled) cross it off. • Be specific. Avoid vague statements. Do NOT assume the reader is an expert in the topic. • Tell it to your Grandma! • Do not give your opinion. State the obvious. Be concise. • A formal conclusion is not needed. • No diagrams or pictures.

  9. 2. These maps were created using the same data set. For each map, A and B, do the following: a. Identify the type of projection used by the cartographer. b. Identify the type of map the cartographer used to show the data.

  10. 3. The most distinctive tool in the geographer's kit bag is the map. Because of their central importance to geographers, they can also be objects of study in their own right. B. Describe TWO other tools/skills which geographers use to gather spatial data.
