FRQ Process
just like writing a regular essay or DBQ without the documents
• 1) Re-write Question
– DO/ What
• 2) Brainstorm- list as many facts and ideas as your can about the essay subject,
hopefully you can see themes and develop an idea of what you can write about
looking at your brainstorm (much like you would w the DBQ ID/Sum/OI
• 3) Thesis- write a 1 or 2 sentence answer to the question (make sure your thesis
answers the question w 2 or 3 themes/arguments that you can input your
brainstormed OI as evidence
• 4) Cluster- simply input the argument and OI that will be used in each paragraph
(you do not need to include explanations here unless they are popping off in your
head and you want to get your explanations on paper before you forget that idea)
– Remember, the goal here is to finish and create a quality essay in the giving
time to write (35 minutes) by trying to come up with
• 1) a strong thesis
• 2) as much OI as possible (9-12)
• 3) strong analysis/explanations that prove how your OI answers your
question (you are not simply listing facts but applying those facts to answer
the question

your mind as you write
