Ms. Dikes (the 12th grade history teacher) and I put together this fun competition every year with prizes and food and general merriment. If you are interested in participating, you dont have to sign up, just show up. These questions are different from the National Geographic Bee I organized earlier in the year. The questions on this competition we write ourselves. Kids from all grades participate but the last two years, teams of middle school kids have won. If you participate, you will receive extra credit on our last test.

2. How to study for the test.

In terms of the most effective ways to study, I would say that simply rereading all your notes over and over again would be ineffective and a waste of time. Start with the test review sheet. See how much you know by testing yourself. Compare your answers to your notes. What do you need to review more? What do you know well? Let your self tests be your guidelines.

You should also test yourself on the separation of powers and checks and balances work we did in class along with your quiz. Cover up the answers and see how well you can answer these questions.

Short essay

I am also going to ask you to write a short essay explaining the goals of the Constitution. I will ask you to explain specific historical events that led to these goals and discuss specific elements in the Constitution as examples and explain how those examples accomplished the goals of the Constitution (this is the work we did the last couple of classes).

In terms of organizing your thoughts and approaches, dont treat each question, element, and vocabulary word as though they were separate and unrelated. Organize them starting from the broadest ideas about the goals of the constitution. Then think about the elements that accomplished those goals. What does each element specifically mean? How are they applied? And included in all of that are the vocabulary terms.

(7-2 only)

Write a body paragraph taking a position on the GQ: Should continue using the electoral college system to elect the President? Don’t simply summarize the list we put up in class. Develop your own position based on the work we did and develop it like a proper body paragraph with a topic sentence, evidence (no citations needed), and a connection between your evidence and your topic sentence. You can discuss counter arguments as well but try not to make it too long.

All Streams

Unit test on the creating governments unit on Wednesday, June 1st (7-2 and 7-1) and Thursday, June 2nd (7-3). We will look over our test review sheets next class to go over what you need to know and study to prepare for the test.
