Semester+One+Final+Exam+10-11

The format of the exam is as follows:

2 - Free Response Questions 1 - Document-Based Question 80 Multiple Choice Questions

The FRQ will be done in class on Friday, December 10th (Block D) and Monday, December 13th (Block F). You will be answering two questions - one on "Early American History Prior to 1789" and one on "American History 1789-1900". For each category, you will have two questions to choose from. Please note that you are only responsible for content already covered in class. (There are some aspects of the late nineteenth century that we have not covered yet in class. You, of course, will not be expected to know this content yet.)

The DBQ will be done at home the weekend of December 11-12. It is to be turned in to Turnitin.com by 8 am on Monday, December 13th. Late essays will not be accepted. Your essay may NOT exceed 900 words. You should spend no more than one hour working on this DBQ.

The Multiple Choice portion of the exam will be done during your final exam period during the week of December 14th - 17th.

If you have any questions, please let me know as soon as possible!

This exam will be scored just like the AP Exam which you will take in May as follows:

50% - Multiple Choice 22.5% - DBQ 13.75% - FRQ #1 13.75% - FRQ #2

Some of you also requested a review of the various presidents and their platforms along with a timeline of the various political parties in America. Use the following links that I have created below to aide your review of these topics:
