Test Corrections for Chapter 8 & 9 Exam

Test Corrections: Opportunity to Earn Back Credit on Foner Chapter 8 & 9 Exam
Due: Wednesday, 12/12
Directions: For every question that you got wrong, take the following steps. For every question you complete accurately, you will receive 1/2 credit back, to increase your exam score before it is entered into Jupiter.

• Identify the problem number
• Identify Your Answer Choice-- the whole statement
• An explanation of why that answer is incorrect must be provided.
• Identify The Correct Answer Choice, as a statement

Example of What To Do:

#6
My Choice: the United States doubled in size
This answer is incorrect because the question asks which of the following does NOT describe the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. My answer DOES describe the Louisiana Purchase, as do answer choices a, c, and d. Since the Louisiana Purchase caused an increase in the size of the United States, and was purchased FROM the French, there is no way that French power was not able to expand in the Western Hemisphere.
Correct Answer: French power expanded in the Western Hemisphere

Here are examples of What NOT to do: I will not award credit for statements that do not clearly exhibit learning:
 I read the problem wrong.
 I wrote down the wrong answer.
 I don’t know
 I mixed my numbers

School is Open Tomorrow, 11/5

Hi Families and Students,

This morning the Department of Education incorrectly identified our school building as a building with no electricity. As we understand it, students and families have also received automated phone messages alerting you to the fact that our school will be closed tomorrow, Monday, 11/5. This information is incorrect.

The Martin Luther King Educational Campus does have power and we WILL hold classes tomorrow, Monday, 11/5. All students are to report to their advisory/college prep upon arriving at school.

Hope you are all well and able to attend school tomorrow.

Ms. Hanemann

Hurricane Homework! Chapter 7 Foner

Dear Students,

I hope that you and your families are safe from poor conditions post-Sandy, and if you're reading this, you have access to power (yay!). As you know, you are expected to have completed annotations of Chapters 3-6 of Carol Berkin's A Brilliant Solution by the time school is reopened. What follows are suggestions for how you can begin to prepare for the next segment of our coursework. I cannot stress enough that this work is supplementary, not required, and should only be attempted as long as your families are safe and able to comfortably use power sources.

Our next Foner chapter will be Chapter 7 "Founding a Nation: 1783-1789." I have not distributed copies of this chapter to read, but I would like to invite you to review the Foner website to get the general idea of the chapter before we begin reading it. There are two easy ways to do this, which I have provided links for below:

1. Watch/Listen to Foner answer questions on topics related to Chapter 7. Each video is only 2-4 minutes long and questions include:

• Video 1: The Constitution begins with the words "We the people of the United States"; who were "the people" according to the framers?
• Video 2: How did the Constitution affect the institution of slavery in America?
• Video 3: How important was the Bill of Rights at the time, and what has been its significance since then?
• Video 4: How did race emerge as the sole significant marker between slavery and freedom in this period?
