Assignment Directions: 

Complete the following 5-part LEQ outline below on slides 2-5 linked below based on the prompt.  The assignment is based on your life, so the evidence should be specific to your life, with names and places mentioned. Be thoughtful and specific — this is practice for how you will prepare for LEQs on the AP Exam! 

Essay Prompt: 

Elementary, middle school, and high school are often seen as periods of growth and development for young people in the United States. The transition from elementary to middle school and then from middle school to high school often presents unique personal and academic challenges and opportunities.

Develop an argument that evaluates the degree to which you experienced personal and/or academic changes and continuities from Kindergarten to High School.
