Have students take a look at the associated Prezi related to this topic. Then have them compare and contrast these models and theories and then have them discuss similarities and differences by connecting these concepts to ALL seven of the units and associated concepts in our course. For example, how are the precepts of the von Thunen model similar, yet different than those of the Burgess, concentric zone model?  \n[http://prezi.com/quigwfyvfnoy/ap-human-geography-models-and-theories/](http://prezi.com/quigwfyvfnoy/ap-human-geography-models-and-theories/)  \n(2) Have your students make connections across the different units of our course by having them take vocabulary terms from each unit and then have them create sets of terms where one or more terms connect to each other and other terms do not. Have students work with a partner or in small groups and figure out why the terms connect and why they do not? An excellent extension to this activity is to have students create lists of terms across multiple units of study. Note that this activity is also known as Odd One Out.  \n(3) Have students predict which concepts may be covered on the FRQ portion of the exam by having them plot out which major concepts have been covered over the past 19 years of the exam. Therefore, which concepts have not yet been covered? Depending on how much class time you have available you can have students evaluate all the past FRQs by going to the AP central web site where all of the past FRQs are easily accessible. Please remember that the upcoming year 2019-2020 FRQs are new format based on the new course and exam description.  \n(4) In conjunction with above question \\#3, have students become familiar with all the action verbs now used in APHG FRQs so they may get a sense of how the FRQs will be formatted for this year’s exam. These FIVE action verbs are identify, define, describe, explain and compare. Please remember that the only verbs that require an example are explain and compare. Likewise, the action verb compare is asking students to look for similarities and difference but depending on the question prompt it may not be looking for both and may be focused on one or the other.  \nAP HUMAN GEOGRAPHY EXAM REVIEW IDEAS & TIPS  \n(5) Go over FRQ test taking strategies with your students. For example, if you have not already throughout the school year, highly recommend to students that they should be outlining their answers to ALL three of the questions on the question booklet before they begin answering the questions. They should also be answering what they feel is the easiest question first therefore, allowing them more of the 75 minutes available to answer what they feel is/are the more difficult questions. Students should not answer in bullets and use as much elaboration as possible with appropriate examples to have the best opportunity to earn a 4 or 5 score on the exam. Use the scoring rubrics and associated summaries on the AP Central page and new CED as a teaching tool.  \n(6) Break your students into small groups and assign them different portions of different units and have them then present to the class what they feel are the most important concepts along with pertinent examples that they think they should all know for the exam. This can be done in Power point or Prezi format. You can act as moderator and prompt students through this process as to which types of MCQ and FRQ questions might be asked on the exam in relation to what is being presented.  \n(7) Make sure at some point in the ","cbCailX1cbUWUwaH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailX1cbUWUwaH","pdf",136819,"English","# Exam Preparation Activities\n## Models, Theories, and Unit Connections\n## Vocabulary Sets and “Odd One Out”\n## FRQ Prediction, Action Verbs, and Test-Taking Strategies\n## Group Presentations, Practice Exams, and Term Examples\n## Geographic Regions and Pattern Analysis\n## Linking Demographic and Migration Models","[{\"question\":\"How can students build stronger knowledge of APHG models and theories?\",\"answer\":\"Review the related Prezi content, then have students compare and contrast models and theories and connect them to all seven course units and associated concepts.\"},{\"question\":\"What action verbs are used in APHG FRQs and how do they affect answers?\",\"answer\":\"The five action verbs are identify, define, describe, explain, and compare.
