IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT APPLIES TO ALL REVIEW ACTIVITIES
All review activities are applied to the 6th Six Weeks, and these review activities are the ONLY grades for the 6th Six
Weeks. Every assignment counts, so keep up with due dates and do your best work.
ALL ACTIVITIES must be typed. You should copy/paste the attached charts into a new document and edit them –
adding information as you go. You MUST print the documents and turn them in on the appropriate due date. Any
activities emailed to Mrs. Thompson will be considered NOT SUBMITTED.
Cite sources for information/photos used from the internet. Remember that using any large section of text from the
internet is plagiarism (even if you cite the source!) – so you need to read and paraphrase when researching online.
Some of the in-class activities may be one as a group, but all work done outside of class is INDIVIDUAL WORK. You
may choose to work together with friends on the research, but each person is responsible for creating his/her own
final product – so I should receive no assignments that are substantially identical.
Copying information – from the internet or from another student – or providing information for another student to
copy will result in a zero for that activity.
One-Pager Instructions – Due dates listed in the chart
For each era, students must include:







Presidents who served during this era
5 significant people (other than presidents) – name and explain the significance
5 significant events – name and explain the significance
Significant movements in art, music, and literature – name, explain the significance, and give specific examples
Significant rebellions/insurrections/strikes
Significant compromises – name and explain the significance
Most importantly, you must include a SUMMARY for each era that includes reference to Social, Political, and
Economic characteristics of the period
I leave specific decisions about layout for the one-pagers to you. I want to emphasize that substance – not style – is
most important in these one-pagers. Specific, factual information is the key to a good grade on these, not making the
one-pager look fancy (though it should be neatly done).
The following grades will result from completing one-pagers:
1. Test grade for one-pagers #1-7
2. Test grade for one-pagers #8-14
3. Daily grades – up to 20 points each for turning in one-pagers on their due date (a 10-point deduction from the
daily grade will be taken for turning in one-pagers a day late, no credit for assignments turned in more than one
day late)
Supreme Court Cases – Due April 16th
Complete the attached chart of significant Supreme Court cases. Focus on the lasting impact of these decisions, not the
immediate results.
