This blog is a place for us to give our Analysis and Opinions on important topics related to civics, government and politics.
Analysis is a clinical interpretation of items, issues, ideas, or events and an explanation of their impact on the future (i.e. something you think is going to happen).
Opinion is composed of your reactions, feelings, and beliefs on items, issues, ideas or events (i.e. something you would like to happen). Even though they are your opinions, they should be based in fact.

Please comment and/or ask questions about the free response questions below:
The free response questions helped give us examples of free response questions on the ap test, but we really haven't practiced writing them in the time frame and without being able to look up the answers. I think it was good that we know how we should answer them to get all the points, but we need more practice with how it would be given on the test.
I thought this free resonse question was very well answered. It did a great job defining unfamiliar terms such as selective incorporation. Also, it helped show mastery on this topic by providing examples like Chicago's gun ban. I wonder how this essay would compare to an essay written within the time limits of the AP Exam.
i think the free response question did a good job of describing, explaining, and giving an example. It went into depth of what the topics were, not just scratching the surface. I wonder how I will be able to complete such a good free response, within the time the AP exam allows.
This free response defined vocabulary, provided examples, explained neccessary topics, and effectively addressed the entire prompt. It was very well written.
I thought the free response question was answered very well and it was very smooth. Explained terms I didnt know and gave good examples. I think it will also help me on how to answer the free response questions.
This free response was well written. It provided good explanations and definitions of terms I was not familiar with. The examples provided only helped to strengthen their assertion. Great Job!
Coming from a person with little to no knowledge of selective incorporation, this response was very informative and detailed. The group gave great examples and definitions. The only part that concerns me is the idea of having to know court cases like these. How are we going to be able to recite these court cases without a great deal of memorization and studying?
The free response questions were very good practice for the AP test in the spring. The more we practice the free response, the better we will get at answering them completely and intelligently.
The free response questions will help prepare us for the AP test. Also having a free response question at this time of the year shows how much we understand and if we need to re-master some learning objectives. The free responses were a good gauge to determine readiness and also were good practice.
I think that having more practice with FRQs is a good idea before the test in May. I think that we should also transistion into writing under the time constraints of the acutal essays in addition to more practice.
