Heinler's History had established a solid foundation of APUSH knowledge, thus allowing students to come to class prepared and write a better essay in the APUSH exam. That is my thesis:)
Although some may argue that Steve Heimler’s TH-cam channel is non-unique and others like John Green produce far better videos, because Heimler’s video provide a neat and comprehensive structure which is easy for students learn and because Heimler’s videos are widespread meaning that thousands of students watch them, Steve Heimler tremendously saved the lives and scores of many APUSH students.
Despite some people seeing Heimler's history as simply the same thing as the class its self and having a modest effect on the student, because he condenses information into easily understandable chunks, provides useful graphics and examples, and because he explains topics and skills in an intuitive way, Heimler's history has transformed the studying process and saved students from suffering on the AP exam.
Although our history teachers are very good teachers, we would not be able to do well on the AP exam without Heimler’s History since he posts well-developed videos and provides multiple choice practice questions in his Ultimate Review Guide.
Some may argue that Steve Heimler's channel provides no more help to struggling students than other history review channel. However, by breaking concepts down to simple terms and utilizing his knowledge of AP test structure, Heimler has allowed students to both feel and perform more confidently on AP history exams.
I have an ap world exam on Monday and hope if I do better in the leq, Dbq, and Saq then I can balance out with my multiple choice which I know I can do decent on. I got them wrong as I didn’t put any specific or more evidence but watching heimler helped me so much. Hope I can do decent in the exam and get at least 3 or probably a 4 which I would be aiming for.
@Lucy Kim I finished mine and it was a little stressful. A word of advice of not to spend much of your time thinking on a single question as that got me to not finishing b and c on the last question of the Saq. Overall I think I did pretty decent as I knew what my weak points are in my practice exam
Pov: your here to learn how to write a dbq eassay for ap history and your exam is coming in May and you only have 60 minutes to write and your techers make you feel like its not enough time and you feel like your gonna fail😪
this video makes me happy but sad at the same time since earlier today I just wrote a thesis and was so stressed out :) still thx for this, saving for my next leq
Thank you my good sir, appreciate the assistance! Really struggling with this class but you surely make the experience much better for my classmates and myself.
Is this a good thesis for the prompt? Although there were several other western countries starting their imperial expansion in the Indian Ocean Trade, the Portuguese made several establishments to transform the Indian Ocean significantly due to trading post empires and naval technologies specifically, new ships like the caravel.
Question: so in the prompt you’re setting in a counterargument. When do you address this counterargument and argue that your side is better? The conclusion? Within the body paragraphs? Do you use the Docs (for a DBQ) that support your counterargument as evidence then argue why your side is better?
Teacher here. Why use those proper nouns so early? Why not elaborate on the theme that is taxation (work exc tech or identity, politics power) and then use those PN in the body? Only reason I ask is my kids come to be with things like "thats not how jocz, heimler, etc said to do."
I second this question. I hear different theories from different teachers. Some advocate for "vague" terminology in the thesis, while others (like the good Mr. Heimler) push for specific terms and proper nouns.
hey so this is literally 2 months later and im only a ninth grader so idk how accurate i am... but I think he starts to specify and use proper nouns in the beginning to make ur initial argument less vague. If i said, "taxation is bad bc ppl dont like it (or like, u know what i mean)" and explained it later, the topic sentences would lack specification and the counterargument isnt answered. In this example, my topic sentence could be taxation leads to violent protests but if u dont specify in the beginning (like which taxation act or protest) then it leaves a lot of holes in ur argument, especially since the document wont cover all of them. On the other hand, if u specifically mention something like "because the British Parliament's Tea Act of 1773 created an unfair monopoly on American tea and created protests including the Boston Tea Party, it intensified the tension between Britain and the American colonies" (include a counter-argument i just dont want to write one rn), it not only lets ur body paragraphs go EVEN deeper and rlly develop ur argument better, but it also gives u higher chances of getting the "complexity" point. Since u specified two MAIN SPECIFIC points in ur thesis, its easier to have more DETAILED range. btw- sorry if that made no sense. I have a DBQ to write in 2 days and im cramming so this is my personal thoughts on ur question :) i personally think that using the proper nouns in the thesis is just safer overall !! anyways sorry its so long but i hope it helps at least a little
should we just have our thesis be one sentence or can we separate our counter argument and argument into two sentences? also, these videos are helping me so much. thank you!!
Thank you! Do have advice about writing a thesis on prompts that don't exactly sound like a question? Such as the prompts that ask to explain a certain topic?
Usually prompts will ask you to explain "to what extent" something caused something else, or "to what extent" there was change, etc. In that case, your argument just needs to address whether it was a major cause or a minor cause, a major change or a minor change, etc. Does that help?
@@heimlershistory ,do you think your basic structure for a thesis, 4:23 is useable and useful for all types of prompts like COT, comparison, evaluation, analysis, etc.? Also what do you recommend would be a good structure if the prompt is to analyze and explain a behavior?
For the Taxation example wouldn't a better argument be to say that while taxation was part of the equation for why the colonist wanted independence it was the only cause as the enforcement of previous acts like the Navigation Act and the implementation of acts like the Quebec Act , Indian Proclamation Line, Quarter Act had just as much impact threatening colonist natural rights?
OK SO WHEN IT COMES TO BEING SPECIFIC IN OUR THESIS AND NAMING EVIDENCE IS THIS EVIDENCE AS AN OUTSIDE SOURCE AND LISTING EXAMPLES FROM OUR BRAINFOLDS AS YOU SAY OR ARE WE MENTIONING THE DOCUMENTS EARLY?
This is helpful if your teacher actually gave you a prompt. My teacher just threw us the name "Fredrick Douglass" and said to write a AP essay. Like WTF
No, you should weave that counterargument into your body paragraphs. That doesn't mean you can't also write a separate paragraph dealing with it, though. But if you do, make sure you're still talking about it elsewhere...
i dont think anyone one will see this, but is this a good thesis??? lmao Despite the positive changes due to industrialization during 1870-1900, since drastic economic and political transformations like the poor treatment of labor workers and the impact of rich people in politics did occur, the changes throughout this time period had an extremely negative impact on the economy and politics.
since we're including a counterargument in the thesis, would it be a good idea to write a concession paragraph using the opposing evidence and then two paragraphs using the applicable evidence?
Well, that may be what he wants for his/her class, but the folks who are scoring your thesis on the national level will be looking for specific historical evidence. Trust me: I'm one of them...
@@heimlershistory my teacher took away my thesis point because I was being "too specific" (I cited the congress of Vienna and the rising conflict between Conservative leaders and liberal revolutionaries) :(. I don't understand
