The Early Cold War Test (1945-1960) is Wednesday, 3/13 during class. The class will have a chance to study during class time Tuesday, 3/12, and then take the test while the info is fresh in your mind! All Tests are 100% based on class notes and discussions. The notes are based on the book "The Americans" Chapter 26 and 27 and other sources. Text links given each day.
For the 20 multiple choice, choose the best answer! If you need to, eliminate wrong answers to find the best answer! For the 3 short answer/open responses, write a logical response to the question following the below rubric. For the Test essay, formulate your response following the below test essay rubric. Do not forget there are good examples to use from the multiple choice if you understand them!
Cheating in any form is prohibited. This test judges what you know on test day. Retakes will be allowed after grading is complete, so no need to cheat or plagiarize anyway! Also, the availability of retakes 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 a potential retake, 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. Contact Mr. Cook at a later time when ready for a retake. He will have to send you one via email. 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 Early Cold War unit.
Also study the learning objectives from all Ch 26-27 lessons. The Open responses are based upon those!
