Bring bluebooks/greenbooks. Please write clearly and legibly. If you use pencil,
be sure to write strongly
enough to make
the exam readable.
Exam will be in four parts.
Part I. Time Line: be able to identify the major
dates listed below
Part II. Objective
questions (multiple choice or fill in the
blanks) – basic factual information
about
central events, places or individuals.
Part III. Identification of images
and terms: choice
of 4 out of 8 (2 visual, 2 regular).
ID’s
(whether visual or other) require you to explain who or what the
image
represents or what the term refers to, its approximate date, and in particular
what its
significance is -- Basically: WHO,
WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY?
Within the time available,
you should explain as much as you can about the
person, object or
term. ID’s should provide a substantial
paragraph, written in
several full sentences.
Answers providing more detail will receive more
credit than shorter,
less developed answers. Tell us what you know.
Part IV Essay question: choice of one out of two or three
(see below)
