The first 30 questions be derive from excerpted historical documents along with charts/graphs and political cartoons that are aligned to the Common Core History/Social Studies Reading Standards. This material will come from time periods and topics that have been studied during the 2nd semester. The specific reading skills that will appear on the final are as follows: STANDARD 1: Textual Evidence I can cite specific evidence from documents to support the analysis of primary and secondary sources, such as, the date and origin of the information. STANDARD 3: Chronological Reasoning I can analyze in detail a series of events described in a text in order to determine whether earlier events caused later ones or simply came before them. STANDARD 6: Point of View I can compare the point of view of two or more authors for how they treat the same or similar topics, including which details they include and emphasize in each of their documents/texts. STANDARD 8: Author's Argument I can assess the extent to which the reasoning and evidence in a text support the author’s claims. STANDARD 9: Corroboration I can compare and contrast treatments of the same topic in several primary and secondary sources. Here are examples (not the actual docs) of the type of historical document excerpts that will appear on the final: 1 Appeasement of Hitler and Nazi Germany Document A: Winston Churchill Winston Churchill was the loudest and most important critic of Chamberlain’s policy of appeasement. He believed that Hitler and Germany needed to be dealt with more firmly. The following excerpt is from part of a speech Churchill made to the House of Commons as they debated the Munich Agreement. I venture to think that in the future the Czechoslovak State cannot be maintained as an independent entity. You will find that in a period of time, which may not be measured by years, but may be measured only by months, Czechoslovakia will be engulfed in the Nazi regime. . . . We are in the presence of a disaster of the first magnitude which has befallen Great Britain and France. . . . This is only the beginning of the reckoning. Source: Winston Churchill to the House of Commons, October 5, 1938. Document B: Henry Channon Henry Channon was born in America but became a member of Parliament in Britain in 1935. Throughout his life, he kept a detailed diary. The entry below is from the day that Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia, March 15, 1939. Hitler has entered Prague, apparently, and Czechoslovakia has ceased to exist. No bolder departure from the written bond has ever been committed in history. The manner of it surpassed comprehension, and his callous desertion of the Prime Minister is stupefying…The PM must be discouraged and horrified…I thought he looked miserable. His whole policy of appeasement is in ruins. Munich is a torn-up episode. Yet never has he been proved more abundantly right for he gave us six months of peace in which we re-armed, and he was right to try appeasement. Source: Henry Channon, diary entry, March 15, 1939.
