11. Unit 6 Timeline Review [BONUS RESOURCE]

Assignment LINKED (you will need to make a copy). This can be distributed as a reference for students or you can require students to fill it in as a study guide for the unit.

Why do timelines matter? As an AP Exam Reader, I learned that many students lose out on points because they do not have a chronological understanding and use evidence from outside the time of the question. By having students review timelines (not to memorize dates but to understand the flow of events), they maximize their chances of picking relevant examples on free response questions and can make better inferences on multiple choice questions. 

12. Review Challenge

This activity covers main ideas from the unit and allows students to develop critical thinking skills that can be helpful on the exam. Question types include chronology of events (to practice deducing and reviewing the flow of events), T or F, fill in the blank, and quote identification. It is suggested you allow no more than 30 minutes for students to complete, working in groups. Then, exchange papers and have students peer grade. I like to give prizes to the team(s) with the most correct answers!

13. EXTENSION & APPLICATION: Dickens & the French & Industrial Revolution Mini-unit

This Mini Unit  should take approximately one week. (1-2 days for the overview & Tale of Two Cities analysis and 2-3 days to watch the film) It is best at the end of the Industrial Revolution unit to tie together themes from the Industrial Revolution & look back at the French Revolution. 

It can be completed in 1-2 days if you just analyze the excerpts rather than watching the film.

ASSESSMENT: 

MULTIPLE CHOICE EXAM - 45 questions (click the link to access the exam. You will need to make a copy to modify the questions)

NOTE: Questions 1 - 26 are mostly industrial revolution & questions 27 - 45 are mostly focused on the “-isms” and revolutions 1830 -1848

DBQs

OPTION 1: DBQ - ADAPTED FROM THE 2012 DBQ: Analyze various arguments that emerged over the course of the nineteenth century about how to improve the lives of European workers.  

2012 scoring guide can be found HERE, but note document numbers are different as the 2012 DBQ had 12 documents and this has been reduced to 7 to reflect the current DBQ structure

OPTION 2: DBQ - Analyze the ideas that emerged regarding the creation of political stability and identify the challenges to creating this stability (1790 - 1820).
