Studying for the Civil Rights, Feminism and Counterculture Test!

The Civil rights, Feminism and Counterculture Test is Friday, 5/22 during class time.  The test is 100% notes and discussion based.  The notes and discussions are majorly based on the Americans Chapters 29 and 31.

In G block SEI, there are 21 multiple choice and 4 short answers.

In C and E block, there are 30 multiple choice questions worth 80 points.  For multiple choice, choose the best answer!  If you need to, eliminate wrong answers to find the best answer!  There are 2 short answer/open response worth 8 points total.  For open response, write a logical response to the question using a specific historical example discussed in our class to prove you know.  Make sure you respond to the task verb used in the question, like identify or explain.  There is one short essay worth 12 points- Make a claim about the Civil Rights movement, and use 2 examples and analysis and reasoning to prove your claim.  The rubrics used for short answer questions and test short essays are attached to Google classroom where you found this study post and also attached to the test question it corresponds with.  See me for help prior to the test if you need help with any of this.

Cheating in any form is prohibited.  This test judges what you know on test day.  Test corrections will be allowed 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 potential 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.  Contact Mr. Cook at a later time when ready for test corrections.  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 Civil Rights, Feminism and Counterculture unit.
