Essay Questions for Unit 3: Transformations – America from 1940 to the 21st
Century |
The 2 essays
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 take the exam essays, I provide a pile of narrow strips of paper with
choices for each of those essays so each of you see different tests. When you
finish your objective test, you hand it in to me and pick up the top strip from the pile. You can write
on either one of the choices.
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
