All of you have been given a different FRQ from a previous AP exams.  Post your thesis statement here no later than tomorrow (Wednesday, November 23). 

Analyze the ways in which the absolutism of Louis XIV impacted the bureaucracy, the nobility, the peasantry, economics and religious issues in France.

Christopher Columbus is credited with discovering the Americas on October 12, 1492.  Many countries in the Americas, including the United States, celebrate this momentous event with a national holiday, parades, speeches and other commemorations.  However, there is a growing and rather vocal group of people (particularly the ancestors of the indigenous populations) who believe that to celebrate such a man is wrong.  Look up some of the opposition groups' positions and then, based on what you have learned about Columbus, make a reasoned argument as to whether or not any country should celebrate Columbus Day.

Please post your thesis statement/thesis paragraph for the Pilgrimage of Grace DBQ.  Remember the Iron Rule of Advanced Placement---AP=Answer the Prompt!!
