AP World History Review: Comparative Questions
Curtain Call
Directions: Use your textbook and or your Princeton Review Book to list as many facts about the following historical comparisons. Use the attached Societal Comparison sheet as a guideline for what to compare and contrast. Remember that you do not have to fill in every topic on the sheet, try and get used to looking for these topics when you are comparing societies-in this way you will increase your speed in breaking down the comparative essay on the actual exam. After you have finished all of your comparisons, you should attempt to write a thesis statement for every topic based on the comparisons. You should try to do as many of your comparisons as soon as you can. The test is scheduled for the first week in May!
Comparative questions ask students to decide how two different subjects are similar and different. It is expected that these questions will only compare within time periods. Example. 8000 B.C.E. to 600C.E, 600 to 1450, 1450 to 1750, 1750-1914, 1914 to Present
Use the index of the textbook and the table of contents (chapter headings) to help you to expedite the needed information!
**If possible type out your work so that it is neat and can be studied from before the AP exam****
