US HISTORY- CHAPTER 17 REVIEW //Review your quizzes, end of section questions, focus questions, notes, and chapter review. Some of your test questions are word for word what was on the quizzes and section/review questions. SHH! It’s a secret, don’t tell anybody.// __Key Terms/Topics__ //Be familiar with each of the following and how it relates to the changes in America during the 1950s.// __Essay__ //2 of the following will appear on your test and you will choose 1 to answer. If you do both I will only grade the first one. Study tip – don’t write a full essay for each of these, instead write down 3-4 things you would want to include in each if it appears on the test. It will be easier to remember that way.// · How did the baby boom impact the postwar economy? · How did automobile production affect the economy? · Why was television a better medium than radio for consumerism? · What were some of the problems that minorities had to overcome in the postwar era? __Test Format__ 5 True/False at 1 pt each = 5 points 10 Matching at 1pt each = 10 points 25 Multiple Choice at 3 pts each = 75 points 1 Essay at 10 points = 10 points TOTAL = 100 points __“Office” Hours__ I will be available after school the day before the test until at least 3:30 for Prosser students. I can stay later if needed. I will be available at 7:30AM the morning of the test AND during homeroom. P.S. If your parents sign this and you give to me when class starts the day of the test it will be worth 5 bonus points on your test.
