For students who scored 140 or below on Exam #1 In an effort to support your academic success, I am offering you this assignment to: A. Make up some of the points that were lost on exam #1 B. Help you prepare for exam #2 For this assignment, you will create a (partial) study guide for yourself for Exam #2. You will need to: 1. Write an ID for two terms from each unit. 2. Answer one of the questions in each unit. #1 Take two terms from each unit and write an ID on that term. An ID is a short paragraph that is basically asking you to explain a term with who, what, when, where, and why. I’m looking to see that you understand the concept and why it is important. You should end every ID with a sentence that starts with “This is important because…” An example of an ID: The Compromise of 1877 The Compromise of 1877 ended Reconstruction in the South. In 1877 there was a very close presidential election between the Republican candidate Rutherford B. Hayes and the Democratic candidate Samuel J. Tilden. A deal was struck whereby the Republicans would get their presidential candidate in office in exchange for the removal of federal troops from the South and recognition of Democratic control of the entire South. The Compromise of 1877 is important because it ended the period of Reconstruction in the South and began the rise of the Jim Crow Era, a period also known as the nadir of African-American history. The Compromise of 1877 brought a close to an era when Republicans controlled much of the South, African Americans exercised significant political power, and the federal government accepted responsibility for protecting the fundamental rights of all American citizens. (Class lecture, Feb 8) Write a paragraph like this for two terms per unit (a unit is “US Imperialism” or “Progressive Era Reform,” etc.) There are six units total, so you will write twelve IDs total. You can and should use your notes, lecture powerpoints, and the textbook to do this. At the end of each ID, please write in parentheses what sources you used. #2 In addition to the IDs, you should answer one of the questions listed for each unit. Answer the questions using your notes from class or the textbook. You should not go to the internet to look up these answers. At the end of your answer, write which source(s) you used. I don’t have an example of this but it should be a very thorough answer that draws on the IDs listed in the study guide. Turn all that in to me via email cjacquet@lsu.edu by midnight on Wednesday March 29. Please send this as a .doc or a .pdf. Do NOT send a link. Send an attachment. If you send me a file and I cannot open it, you will not get credit.
