Class Summary 4/20

Hey everyone! For anyone who wasn't here today, here's what we did today:

We did two short answer questions; Mr. Stewart said that the AP people didn't want any of the materials posted online, which is why he gave us a printed copy.  So while I don't think it would be a good idea to post the actual prompts, here is the gist:

1. Use your knowledge from the colonial / exploration era (1492 - 1700) to describe different ways in which European influence changed Native Americans' society and ways in which the Native Americans resisted the Europeans.

2. Use your knowledge of the Pre-Civil war era to evaluate how either the Northwest Ordinance, the Missouri Compromise, or the acquisition of Mexican Territory was one of the main events that led to the Civil War.  Then, use an event to support your argument.  Then, explain why one of the others was not as good of an example.

We took 10 minutes to quickly answer / outline our answers for the short answer questions, then went over several of the possible answers.  For example, some of the ways in which Native American society was affected by Europeans were:
- shift from hunting for food to hunting for trade
- implementation of guns into warfare
- spread of diseases
And many more.

Each question had 3 parts, and the formatting of the short answer questions is such that each part should be about a paragraph (2-4 sentences).  Hopefully these can provide some form of extra practice/review.

We also went over several of the multiple choice questions in the 200 question review on Edmodo.
