Students! Next week is the week! Your first benchmark exam will give you an idea of how well you're doing so far, and, as 30% of your grade, is a very important test!
Leave me some shout-outs and comments if you came through to prep for the test!!!
I know you'll all do well, but just in case you want to study a bit more in some different ways, here are some links for help:
Videos:
This video is an EXCELLENT breakdown and overview of Theodore Roosevelt's presidency and his ties to the progressive movement.
A slideshow covering the Gilded Age leading into the Progressive Era. This video covers ALMOST everything we've studied and looked at over the past few weeks!
Still uncertain about the Dawes Act? Check this clip out!
Let's not forget about the importance of railroads! Here is a great student-created video!
FROM HISTORY.COM (HISTORY CHANNEL WEBSITE)
Prohibition and the movement leading up to it (great, short clip!)
From "America: The Story of Us":
Henry Ford, the assembly line, and his Model T car
Statue of Liberty (really cool breakdown of the construction process)
Thomas Edison
Brooklyn Bridge (remember the importance of steel in urbanization!)
Information/Organizers and Outlines
A great rundown/timeline from 1868-1900.
An awesome summary of key people, events, ideas, and terms in the Gilded Age (industrialization) from Sparknotes.com!
Another awesome breakdown and summary from sparknotes.com, this time on the Labor Movement of the late 1800s.
One more great summary/breakdown from sparknotes.com- the rise and fall of the Populist Party
Practice Tests:
I recommend trying to answer ALL the questions, even if you don't know them! You never know what you'll learn! All tests are for PRACTICE, and they all come from Advanced Placement (AP) college-level courses! Challenge yourself!
Try completing the two Gilded Age tests here, as well as the Progressive Era tests as well!
