Possible
Essay Questions for Unit 3: Transformations – America from 1940 to the 21st
Century |
The 2 essays
on the online exam work this way.
§
You write
2 essays on the exam that ends the Unit. You can prepare because you see all of the possible questions below.
§
When you
actually click on the exam essays, Blackboard displays choices for each of
those essays so students see different tests. You can write on either one of
the choices.
Essays are graded based on your understanding of the history and using the Evidence Checklist/Rubric. These links may help:
§ For examples of student essays
§ For how I use the Evidence Checklist/Rubric in grading
§ For a method for preparing to write a practical essay—one faster and more accurate than any method I have seen yet
General Tip: You can identify information about significant and representative events that you need to read about carefully by:
§ Using the index at the back of the textbook with the general words in the question
§ Using the Reading Quiz questions for this Unit to find specific words to use in the index at the back of the textbook
§ For this Unit use my completed version of the Snapshot for 1950s to 1970s (with Reading Quiz H) and of the Snapshot for 1980s to about 2008 (with Reading Quiz I) to see how these events fit together—or click here for both of the Snapshots
Blackboard will display two of these to choose from. You write on either one. You write on about the significant and representative events for either one of those choices. You are not writing every fact in the textbook; you are selecting significant and representative events.
