Preparing StimulusBased Multiple Choice Questions Preparing examples for

Preparing Stimulus-Based Multiple Choice Questions Preparing examples for each periodization (there are 6). Meaning you should have 6 stimuli and no less than 18 -30 multiple choice questions and answer sheet.

It is 40% of your test and the largest area of weakness • The first part of your WHAP exam on the 16 th of May is the 55 minutes of stimulus-style multiple choice questions. There are usually between 3 -5 questions which are contextual based, reading comprehension based, both, how a historian might utilize it and connecting to another time, place ar theme. This is the first portion of your test and counts for 40% based on 55 multiple choice in 55 minutes. We have utilized hundreds of these style throughout the school year and will do even more after break. Your goal now is to create some of your own to add to our repository. Here is an example from College Board https: //apcentral. collegeboard. org/pdf/ap-world-history-course-andexam-description. pdf • . Here is s step by step process. Here is what the College Board Says

Directly from the AP College Board • The multiple-choice section will contain a number of sets of questions, with between two and five questions per set that ask students to respond to stimulus material: a primary or secondary source, including texts, images, charts, graphs, maps, etc. This stimulus material will reflect the types of evidence that historians use in their research on the past. The set of multiple-choice questions about the material will draw upon knowledge required by the curriculum framework, and each question will address one of the learning objectives for the course. Events and topics contained in the illustrative example lists will NOT appear in multiple-choice questions unless accompanied by text that fully explains that topic to the student

Step 1: Find stimuli from each periodization- some examples can be maps, charts, graphs, artifacts, two passage primary or one passage primary one passage secondary (there must be 6 in all one for each periodization • • • Look at textbook Look at the myriad DBQ’s we have done Look at review books Look at websites Look at college board site https: //apcentral. collegeboard. org/courses/ap-worldhistory/exam/past-exam-questions Look at do now’s Go to library and take out some books Borrow some of my books MC Wording format file: ///H: /MCQ%20 Formats%202016 -2017. docx. pdf

Step 2: cut and paste onto a word document (leave room for 3 -5 questions) Source: https: //secure-media. collegeboard. org/digital. Services/pdf/ap/sample-questions-ap-world-history-exam. pdf

Step 3: Create stimulus based questions you may utilize 1 reading comprehension, one contextual, one combo and one for ho a historian might utilize (additional one to link to another time, place or theme

Step 4: Create choices which can be omitted and with good answers (other two are about different events, regions, periodization’s) but one which is the definite answer

Step 5. Put them all together to help with review of periodization’s, regions and themes • Like a short version of the test for the purpose of review • Will allow you to practice far more than we have in our repository • Gives you a better understanding of how the AP puts the test together and allows you to research materials which could be on the test (see curriculum) https: //securemedia. collegeboard. org/digital. Services/pdf/ap/ap-world-historycourse-and-exam-description. pdf • Begins the process of reviewing for May 16 th 2019

Step 6: Create an answer sheet explaining the why the correct answer is correct • There are many ways to do this including choosing the right answer and why: • Or why the right answer is correct and the others are not (see back of your model)

Political- Economic-Geographic • East Asia- isolated by Gobi, Himalaya and Pacific • South Asia- sub-continent along Indian ocean( monsoon winds) centrally located • Latin America- because of European imperialism and culture diffused ( language and religion) • West and East Europe- divide politically and culturally after the fall of Rome ( later Communism became important between East and West) • Central Asia- the traditional area of the nomadic steppe peoples ( Turks, Huns, Mongols, etc. ) • Sub-Saharan Africa- connected through trans- Sahara trade, isolated by desert for many years • Middle East- ethnocentric designation (U. S) also called South West Asia, noted by trade, civilization and religion (90% Muslim) • North America- politically and culturally different than Latin America by Northern European colonization and identified by Canada, the U. . S and Mexico which is also part of Latin America • Maps help historians conceptualize world history by identifying the ethnocentric bias of regions based on political perspective (Middle East), evaluation the economic resources of the region and their value (South Asia) and by identifying the dominant cultural traits of language and religion of the territory (Latin America)

Preparing S. A. Q ( An Alternative Assessment) • Since the last time we really focused on Short answered questions was in preparation for our 1 st quarterly (way back in October during my paternity break) it is high time that you start to consider (or reconsider) the skill sets employed in creating and/or writing one (or in this case 6 one for each periodization). If you recall, the amount of components involved in the SAQ are 3(it’s a magic number after all). There could be an A (one thing) and a B (two things). Perhaps a separate A, B and C. Where you will Address the question, Cite specific evidence that supports it and Explain why it supports your thesis (A. C. E) IN total there should be no less than 9 sentences cumulatively but no more than 15. There will be three S. A. Qs on your WHAP test May 17 th 2018, which will count, for 20% of your grade and you will have 40 minutes to write them. So what do you do?

Step by Step preparation • 1. For each periodization think of a particular development to discuss causes/effects, continuities/changes, similarities/difference or synthesis to another time, place or theme. • 2. You may choose stimuli for some to support or just prompts to respond to or perhaps both. Link to my page https: //www. whiteplainspublicschools. org/Page/20704 3. Make sure that there are three components to (A. C. E) answer which is acceptable and that you are capable of doing yourself in 9 -15 sentences. • 4. Put it together on a word document identifying periodization and theme and region. • 5. Answer it in 9 -15 sentences • Examples:
