Afrocentric U.S. History Semester 2 Final Review Guide
Short Answer:You will have to write one short answer essay on the final. These topics will require you to discuss the "big picture" of history and historical changes and trends over time. Each essay must be, at minimum, three paragraphs (an intro with thesis, body paragraph, and conclusion) to earn full credit. You will have five prompts to choose from. Those five prompts will cover the following general topics:
1. The founding ideals of the United States in the 20th Century.
2. Culturalism and Black Power as an extension of historical thoughts and movements.
3. U.S. foreign policy in the 1900s.
4. The American racial hierarchy of the 1800s and early 1900s as a catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement.
5. The goals and successes of the Civil Rights Movement.
Selected Response: The final will have 180 multiple choice, true/false, and matching questions. Though no questions will specifically ask you about First Semester, sometimes the material we covered during First Semester will aid you in responding correctly. The exam will be in approximate chronological order beginning with Unit 6 and ending at Unit 11. Use the lists of terms below and your old quizzes to guide your studying.
