Unit #6 Identifications: On
Thursday, October 30th, you will write on your choice of 5 of the 8
identifications that appear on the Unit #6 exam chosen from the list
below. You may bring 10 words of "notes" for each of the 15 possible
identifications to the exam. (Printed out, not on your computer.) 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 #6 Essay Exam - Questions and Format - You'll write an essay as part of the Unit #6 Exam. This essay will be turned in by the beginning of class on Friday, Ocotber 31st. (You will have the class period on Thursday AFTER you finish the identifications, but that is the only class time that will be allotted.) Below you can find both the questions from which you will choose and the format for the essay portion on the Unit #6 Exam. The essay will be evaluated on the usual 30 point scale.
Format: The actual essay will be written by hand or word-processed. You should prepare for a five-paragraph essay. That means that you should include an introduction (with a clear thesis statement), three body paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph. (Note that the questions lend themselves to such a format. That is on purpose.)
Remember that the questions are not designed for you to tell us everything you have learned. Focus on what the question is requiring you to do.
CHANGES for this one:
* You write this outside of class time.
* I want them printed out (double spaced, please.) Printing double-sided is fine.

Choose ONE of these areas and identify and explain the significance of the THREE most important ways in which imperialism impacted that area.
