Maybe you could ask your teacher or an older tutor who’s good at the subject to walk you through a few dbq’s and frq’s. Just sit down with them and have them ask you questions about the documents and the essay and come up with ideas and have them help you write a few example essays. Just use the second person to help you get your mind thinking about the prompt and working clearly. Then, practice on your own, this time, timed and without any help. Have your teacher grade the essay, then ask them what you you could do to improve it. You might be able to pick up some strategies from people who are good at the essays. Good luck, work hard, ask questions and you’ll do fine :)
