The 1960's and 1970's Test is Thursday, 5/1 during class time. It is 100% notes and discussion based. The notes and discussions are majorly based on the Americans Chapters 28 and 30 and 32.
C block #'s:
For the 15 multiple choice, choose the best answer! If you need to, eliminate wrong answers to find the best answer!
For the 3 open response, respond to the task verb (explain or identify) write a logical response to the question using a specific historical example discussed in our class to prove you know. Rubric provided on google classroom.
There is also one essay where you will "make a claim concerning US involvement in the Vietnam War, use 3 specific examples to prove your argument, and explain using analysis and reasoning." Rubric provided on google classroom.
D block- Follow the same advice on question types as C block. There are 18 multiple choice, 4 open response and one essay. The essay is different but this will help you train! The essay is based on our Chapter 28, 30 and 32 notes of course!
Cheating in any form is prohibited. This test judges what you know on test day. Test corrections will be completed after grading is complete, so no need to cheat or plagiarize anyway! Also, the availability of test corrections should decrease the test anxiety! Once the test is graded, Mr. Cook will "release the grade and comments", and you will be sent an email (from google forms which gives feedback on manually entered point deductions). Mr. Cook will also tell the students that the email has been sent in class once they are all done. To prepare for test corrections, at that point students should study the released test and see Mr. Cook at an appropriate time for studying help also as Multiple Choice questions do not offer feedback. Test corrections are great because you put the question and answer together while explaining why it is the correct answer! This makes it so you understand and remember it!
Multiple choice and open response questions are based on notes but also on the course essential questions below! When studying on your own, try to come up with everything they know for each essential question pertaining to our recently studied 1960's and 1970's unit.
