2. Whenever writing a CONCEPT APPLICATION FRQ – remember to:
1. Label appropriately, use (A), (B), and (C). And remember to space
in between.
2. ALWAYS restate language from prompt. Use often the phrase, “In
the context of the excerpt provided.” Quote directly from the scenario.
3. Avoid pronouns. If you say government, be specific, i.e. “national
government” or “state governments.” No “he, she, them….”
4. KEY: Whenever you see the word EXPLAIN, somewhere in your
response include a BECAUSE statement.
5. Time provided: 15 minutes.
