1940 Possible Choices You Will
Have for Question 1 Possible Choices You Will
Have for Question 2 |
When you read, you identify significant and representative events. When you write, you select from those significant and representative events. You are not writing every fact in the textbook.
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 quiz questions for this Unit to find specific words to use in the index at the back of the textbook
§ If those two things are not enough, I will provide tips to resources or to specific locations in the textbook
You will have two of these to choose from. You write on either one. Notice that some of the questions let you use the same information (such as on consumerism or the Great Depression) for two questions.
