For both US History I and US History II, you will see questions that let
you show you know something.
Tip: These
kinds of questions are best learned in the instructor’s links to Lessons in the
Unit, not in the textbook.
The question provides 3 (at most 4) traits that apply to one of a set of
things. You can trust that every trait
in the question is true. The answers list the members of the set: You must
choose which member of the set has all 3 traits.
Example of the Question and AnswersIn the 1830s to 1860s, this region was trait 1, trait 2, and trait 3. a. Northeast b. Northwest c. Southeast d. Southwest |
Example of How You Figure It OutYou are certain that trait 1 and trait 3 are true of the Northeast, but
you are not sure if trait 2 is true for that region. If you are certain that
trait 1 and trait 3 are about the Northeast, you can safely mark letter a. Plus, if your answer is marked correct, you also now know a 3rd
trait about that region. I will not set up trick questions in multiple choice. Caution:
I will not set up trick questions in True-False either;
however, you do need to pay attention to every word. |
This type of question is used with many things. Common examples are:
·
Branches of government
·
Regions
·
Periods of time and how they differ
·
Parts of documents that you are to read
·
Presidents
·
Wars
·
Expansions to different geographic areas at different
times
·
Laws
