History 212/Dunak Fall 2010/Midterm Exam Section 1. Short Answer (20 Points) Review the primary players and events of the period from 1877 to 1939. You should consider Western & world expansion, the political & economic challenges of industrial America, the new urban lifestyle, Jim Crow practices, Progressive reform efforts, the New Era of the 1920s, and the Great Depression. You will be given a word bank & will have to match names, events, and locations to their matching descriptions. Section 2. Primary Source Evaluation (20 points) It would be wise to review the readings on Blackboard as well as your class notes/ handouts. Topics that may be covered are: experience and reaction to WWI; views of industrial American politics & economy; response to American imperialism; the New Era of the 1920s; the Great Depression. Section 3. Essays (30 points each; 60 points total) You will write two essays. You can plan on having about 20-25 minutes to write each essay. This is a list of POSSIBLE essays. Only THREE will appear on the exam (you will choose 2). You’ll see that some of the topics overlap, but preparing an outline for each would be a wise idea (you might consider forming a study group in order to do so). You should plan to use ideas from lecture, discussion, and assigned readings. A grading rubric can be found on Blackboard – this document will tell you how I’ll evaluate your essays.
