Unlike the picture above the essays that Mr.Brock and the Ap Exam assigns are brutal. You will not make it out with all of your friends alive. The DBQ is a document based question in which you are presented with 4-10 documents that may be grouped in 3 ways to answer a presented question. However unlike the Document Based Question, the CC (Compare/Contrast Cultures) Essay and the CCOT (Changes and Continuities Over Time) Essay you actually have to know something to answer the question. Most of the time these two essays are over BIG points in history such as the Colombian Exchange. Lets take a break and look at funny things. Hehe.
