AP European History
How do I write an AP European History LEQ?
Short answer
An LEQ needs a defensible thesis, specific evidence, and reasoning that answers the prompt. Pick the prompt you can support with the clearest evidence.
What to do next
Before writing, list two body paragraph claims and the evidence each paragraph will use.
The common mistake
Writing a narrative of the period instead of a thesis-driven argument.
