Exam+2+-+2012-13

Your second exam of this year will take place in class on Monday, November 5th (Block D) and Tuesday, November 6th (Block F). It will consist of two parts. The first part will consist of 50 multiple choice questions and you will have 35 minutes to complete this section of the exam. Part Two will be the free-response section. You will have two prompts to choose from and then have the rest of class to write on one of the two prompts.

The content of this exam will cover all readings, lectures, and activities from Units 5 and 6. (This covers Chapters 9-15 in __American Pageant__.)

Listed below are potential topics for the FRQ. I will be selecting prompts based on TWO of these topics. (You will not know the exact prompt until you take the exam!)

__**FRQ** **Prompts**__ The Articles of Confederation Federalists vs Anti-Federalists The US Constitution Founding Fathers Rebellions and Conflicts Revolution of 1800 Slavery Jacksonian Democracy Impact of political parties Immigration Market Revolution Transportation Second Great Awakening Changing Roles of Women in Society
