Research Methods FRQ Practice

On Thursday, Nov. 19th you will need to write out one FRQ answer. 

The topic is "Research Methods" and I have a few examples that you can practice to prepare. 

You will need to write out the answer to one of these questions on Schoology using a separate sheet of paper & a black/dark blue ink pen. Upload your photo of the written work to gain credit. 

The question will be determined for you randomly before the test. 


Remember our HINTS:

Do not use an intro or conclusion. 

S.O.D.A.S. - Space out your answer in paragraph form, Order the answer in the same order as the prompt, Define all terms, Apply all terms to the prompt, & use Synonyms to avoid being redundant. 

I.D.E.A.S. - Identify, Define, Elaborate & Apply... Even though sometimes they don't ask for a definition... You may get the point when defining the term or applying it.
