This is an open note/material/resource assignment. You may discuss all you want about the Units through Piazza, but this assignment is to be . In this section, you must create FOUR quality multiple choice questions over the basic facts of units 1 and 2. Create questions over key pieces of historical fact . Questions can be over concepts, ideas, people, places, events, etc. The question should be meaningful and not a gotcha question. Your correct and incorrect answers should be clearly identified (you should have a minimum of 4 answers per question) and a test taker should have to stop and consider the answers carefully. Once you have crafted your four question and provided four answers to choose from (identify your correct answer), you must then explain the question. Why did you think this question was important enough to be on your imaginary exam? Why is the correct answer correct and the incorrect answers wrong? Why did you choose the answers that you did? Do this for each of the four questions. In this section, you must create THREE IDs for a test. IDs are key people, places, events, or concepts (so George Washington or trickle-down economics for example). For each ID you will provide a sample answer (explaining the who/what, where, when, and why it is important). After providing your ID and sample answer, you will then need to explain why you chose this ID for the list,
what makes it so key that it should appear on your imaginary test? Do this for each of the three required IDs. (so two parts sample answer and then explanation for each of the three IDs) A connection is just that, an explanation of how two or more historical facts fit together. Here is a non-history example that will give you an idea of what is expected: For this part of the Untest, I want you to make 4 connections from the time periods covered in Units 1 and 2. The facts should be different facts (not two sides of an issue, battle, debate, etc.) that may not seemingly be connected, but are. List the two historical facts and then explain the connection. A geographic connection is similar to the connections above, except that one of the facts is related to geography, climate, or environment. (Remember the discussion of how geography and history are related). You need to make 2 geographic connections This is an unessay. Instead of giving you a prompt and having you write a full-length essay, I want you to sit back and think about Units 1 and 2 as a whole. What are your key takeaways (these are the most important overall themes of the units)? How would you explain these most important big picture concepts of American history? How would you explain this in a paragraph (think of this as a two-minute elevator speech on US story to someone who knows nothing about the subject).
