Study for WWI Test (Chapter 19 of The Americans)

 WWI Test is Thursday, November 30 on google classroom/forms.

All Tests are 100% based on class notes and discussions.  The notes are based on the book "The Americans" and other sources.  Text links given each day.

The test is made up of 25 multiple choice and 6 short open response questions.  For multiple choice, choose the best answer!  If you need to, eliminate wrong answers to find the best answer!  For open response, write a logical response to the question using a specific historical example discussed in our class to prove you know and always answer all parts of the question.

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, 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!  During the class period, Thursday, November 30, the class will have time to study for the test.  When studying on your own, try to come up with everything they know for each essential question pertaining to our recently studied unit.  

The Essential Questions are below. 

Essential Question #2- How has the rise of Mass Media influenced and transformed Culture? Specifically how did the sinking of the Lusitania and how it was reported impact American history? How did Propaganda impact the US?

Essential Question #4- Where does the drive for Expansion come from and what is its impact on America and the rest of the world?

Specifically- What was the policy on Interventionism and Imperialism before WWI? How does this lead to US involvement in WWI?

Essential Question #5- How has the rise and fall of the Industry / Labor and the Labor Movement shaped the American work environment and Economy? Be able to explain the assembly line, and women working in factories leading to high production rates and eventually women's rights!

Essential Question #7- How have advances in Technology impacted the development of the country and the American people? Be able to explain the weapons that affected WWI heavily and the weapons that did not play a major role in WWI but did afterward.
