History 12: Thurs 16 June
Today we finished our practice exam, including a discussion of the evidence question and practice at the mini-essay. We looked at writing different pre-write organizers. Tomorrow we will write our final unit test:
We will have questions on Vietnam (imperialism vs. dominoes, nature of the war, effects of US society, peace process, etc) the Middle East (Israel's wars, peace initiatives, the Gulf War 1991, OPEC, etc) the US civil rights process (main events, leaders/personalities, segregation/Jim Crow laws, legislation, etc) Apartheid (the structures of Apartheid, leaders, the process of transformation to democracy, etc) and the UN (the structure of the UN vs the League, roles of the UN - peace/economic/humanitarian/environment - with examples, globalization (ex. EEC)
The test will have a timeline, a few what/so-what vocab terms, M/C questions including some on maps. There WILL NOT be a written section this time.
