Introducing "studying comparative"
It's a blog! It's a quiz! It's a review! It's rehearsal! It's FRQ practice! It's a contest!This one's for AP students, but if teachers get ideas about test questions here, that's okay by me.
Each weekday between now and May 1, I'll post an FRQ-type question about comparative government and politics at studying comparative. [That's http://studyingcomparative.blogspot.com in case the link doesn't work for you.]
The questions will be posted at random times between 6:00AM and 6:00PM (U. S. Central Time) so students in Wilmington, Delaware don't have a consistent advantage over students in East Kitsap, Washington or Hilo, Hawaii.
Question #1 will be posted today!
Students can submit answers using the "Questions" e-mail link at the What You Need to Know web site.
The earliest best answer, will be posted on the studying comparative blog site a week after the question was posted.
And the author of the earliest best correct answer will win a pair of What You Need to Know number two pencils to help her or him fill in the exam's multiple choice answer sheet. One of the pencils will have all the multiple choice answers on it and the other will display King Arthur's memorable line from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, "You don't vote for kings!"
(The prizes will be mailed to the authors at their schools, care of their AP teachers. No identifying information will be shared with anyone.)
Students can also win a pair of WYNTK pencils by posing a question that gets used at studying comparative.
It's possible to subscribe to studying comparative like any other blog, so there's no excuse for missing a question and an opportunity to prepare for the AP exam.
