Rise of the –Isms Test

Because we are starting a new semester, and because this unit is so dense with both big ideas and details, I wanted to provide you with a study guide that also included reminders and tips for how to study and prepare.

FRQ Preparation

Look over the guiding questions for the unit. The ideas that these questions touch on will be inspiration for the FRQ. You can anticipate that in your FRQ will ask you to discuss specific revolutions AND specific ideologies.

FRQ expectations – this should not be new to you.

Thesis: Clear and fully responsive to the question.
Body Paragraph 1:
Topic Sentence
Facts that support your topic sentence. Explain the facts in detail with a clear connection to your topic sentence and thesis.
Body Paragraph 2
Topic Sentence
Facts that support your topic sentence. Explain the facts in detail with a clear connection to your topic sentence and thesis.
Body Paragraph 3 (if you have one)
Topic Sentence
Facts that support your topic sentence. Explain the facts in detail with a clear connection to your topic sentence and thesis.

MC and FRQ Prep:

Use Key Terms AND HW questions to review details of the unit. If information is not covered by a key term, it may be covered by a HW question or a class assignment!

Study Tip: Connect key terms and HW details to the BIG picture.

Ex: We know the Corn Laws were English: did they push England TOWARD or away from reform?

Ex: We know the Irish famine was bad and was caused by potato blight, but what larger implications did it have on the politics of the 1840s?

Think to yourself : 1) Do I understand what this term/HW question is/means? HOW does this term connect to the major events/ideas of the unit and the guiding questions? For this unit –think of what –Ism you connect the person or event to.
