Unit #5 Identifications answer sheet.
REMINDER: You must finish the identifications before you leave class. Your essay should be printed out and turned in when you are finished. (You'll be asked to email me your essay if you are turning it in later in the day. Or, better yet, print it out and bring it to me.)
Unit #5 Identifications: You'll receive (or download) a handout from which you will write on your choice of 5 of the 8 identifications that appear. You may have 10 words of "notes" for each of the 15 possible identifications to the exam. You will need to turn in these notes, and I reserve the right to count symbols, acronyms, etc. as one or more words. Each of the five identifications is worth 5 points.
A good identification is typically in the range of 4 to 6 sentences in length. (You do need to write in complete sentences.) You should demonstrate both an understanding of just who / what the ID "is" and place it in the appropriate historical context. In addition, you need to explain the significance of the ID. In other words, answer the "So what?" question.
Unit #5 Essay Exam:
2. The Enlightenment was a time of significant changes in thinking and values. Identify and evaluate the significance of what you consider to be the THREE most significant contributions of the Enlightenment. Which specific figure do you believe best embodied the spirit of the Enlightenment? Why?
3. We studied the causes of political revolution in places such as England, the American colonies, France, Haiti and Mexico. Choose THREE of these revolutions and evaluate whether each was justified. Which of the revolutions that you discuss do you believe was ultimately the most successful? Why?
Homework for next session - Monday, December 1st
Ms. Murr would tell you that only a real meanie assigns homework the night of the exam. I guess that makes me a meanie... (No complaining. You do have five days to get it finished.)
Please read Section 1 in Chapter 25, "The Beginnings of Industrialization." (pp. 717- 722) This is a relatively short quarter, so we need to keep going. (We are probably going to need to double up once on the reading as it is.) The format for this quiz will be true/false.
