Here are some review PPTs for the last few units. Since we went through these so quickly in class, these are more valuable at this moment. I will be uploading the rest in the days to come.

FRQ Practice

Ms. Q — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 01:50:47 +0000

Here is a list of previously asked FRQ’s. This is to give you an idea of what types of questions are asked and what kind of information you might need to know. Remember–we CANNOT predict what the topics will be, but you will have to choose 2 topics from 4 questions from different time periods.

FRQ Free Response

Review Games

These are the games we have played for each unit exam. I will be working on one for the final unit (7) since we didn’t play one in class.

Primary Sources

Ms. Q — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 20:00:14 +0000

Remember–primary (1st)–a quote from the Declaration of Independence is a primary source. Your textbooks written paragraph about the Declaration of Independence is a secondary source. You want PRIMARY SOURCES only!

Also, review old DBQs you have taken–your documents (primary sources) should look just like those do. When you give the source information you are giving the author/speaker/creator, book/magazine/newspaper/speech/etc, date. (You are NOT giving any website information–websites did NOT exist in your time periods to be used as primary source material!!!!)

Search words to try: APUSH primary sources; APUSH dbq documents; APUS history primary sources; 1776 independence primary source (this works for any time period/topic).

Here are some websites to help in the search:

Review Resources

Ms. Q — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 16:33:22 +0000

Time for review.

The next four weeks are going to hard and fast–we are going to recover everything we covered in 8 months in one month.

Here are some review resources to check out if you have spare time and want to check out what you do/do not know.

Online Quiz Practice from Gilder Lehrman Institute–Click on link and then click on where it says American History Quizzes. There is a quiz over every major era and will give you the answers when you are done.

Online Quiz Practice from a NY teacher, Ms. Pojer–Over one hundred practice quizzes.

Online Practice Tests from our textbook publisher, Houghton Mifflin

Major Vocabulary with Definitions–again, do not simply copy and paste, but it might be easier for you to make sense of it outside of the textbook.

Have a great weekend!
