Quote“I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.” - Ray Bradbury

Agenda:
1. DO NOW: Prep for the Free Response Questions. YOU NEED A BLACK PEN.
2. Write 3 FRQ questions from these years: 2012 or 2013; Mr. Duez will flip a coin to determine the question. You will have generally 30 minutes per essay, since this is a 90 minute period.  When you consider that you have already been given an opportunity to plan out each answer, this is a pretty fair measure of how much time you will have on May 14th test day.
