Unit 6 Test Organizer

This is a rather large unit.  One of the best ways to study is to categorize terms and then learn those terms based on the category. If you don't remember, for example, who Terrance V. Powderly is---but you remember he was part of the "Labor Movement" category, then you are more likely to get the question right.

Here is a Unit 6 organizer that will help you categorize the terms.  Go through the Unit 6 syllabus and place the various terms into the boxes on the organizer.

APUSH Gilded Age Discussion Questions

Here they are:  the Gilded Age discussion questions.  The purpose of these discussions is to provide an opportunity to debate historical issues with your peers.  You need to approach the discussion much like you approach essays.  You need to argue a point and provide concrete evidence to support it.

There are THREE discussion questions.  You need to make responses to just TWO of the questions (four responses total).  The first response needs to be to the question itself.  The second response needs to address the response of someone else, either in support or refutation.  Remember to be civil and to provide evidence for everything you state.  Click on the link below to enter the discussion board.  Have fun.
