UNTEST
This is an open note/material/resource assignment. You may discuss all you want about the Unit through
Piazza, but this assignment is to be your own original work
. All unit Untests will utilize the following
format.
PART I. MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS – 20 points total
In this section, you must create FOUR quality multiple choice questions over the basic facts of the unit
.
Create questions over key pieces of historical fact that are the most important for the overall
understanding of unit materials
. Questions can be over concepts, ideas, people, places, events, etc. The
question should be meaningful and not a “gotcha” or trick question to see how close someone read.
Your correct and incorrect answers should be clearly identified (you should have a minimum of 4
answers per question) and a test taker should have to stop and consider the answers carefully.
Once you have crafted your four question and provided four answers to choose from (identify your
correct answer), you must then explain the question. Why did you think this question was important
enough to be on your imaginary exam? Why is the correct answer correct and the incorrect answers
wrong? Why did you choose the answers that you did? Do this for each of the four questions.
What reason is correct as to why the Articles of Confederation were weak?
a)
It was not weak and was successful
b)
The articles were too old
c)
The articles gave too much power to the federal government
d)
The articles gave too much power to the state government
The correct answer is C. This is important to know because Shay’s Rebellion caused the articles to
become known as weak. It also caused the new constitution to be created. The other answers are wrong
because they are not true about the Articles of Confederation.
_______________________
Which of these individuals wanted to create a new national constitution?
a)
George Washington
b)
James Madison
c)
James Bowdoin
d)
Daniel Shay
The correct answer is B. This is important to know because it was known that James Madison was not
planning to just revise the Articles of Confederation, he wanted a whole new constitution. This caused
him to do a lot of research about the history of government in the U.S. The other answers are wrong
because they only wanted to revise the articles not create a new constitution.
_______________________
The Alien act gave permission to the federal government to deport a group of people. What group of
people was it?
a)
Slaves
b)
Native Americans
c)
Kids
d)
Foreign nationals
The correct answer is D. This is important to know because it shows that the U.S did not like foreigners
way back in history and this not a present event. The other answers are wrong because although there
were a minority, they were not deported by the Alien Act.
_______________________
What were the Federalists Papers?
a)
A series of essays to promote the ratification of the constitution
b)
A series of essays that highlighted complaints to the King
c)
Papers that promoted Federalism
d)
Native stories
The correct answer is A. This is important to know because the Federalists papers urged individuals to
ratify the constitution.
The other answers are wrong because they were not true illustrations of the
Federalist papers.

II. KEY ID – 20 points
In this section, you must create ONE ID for a test. IDs are
key
people, places, events, or concepts (so
“George Washington” or “trickle-down economics” for example).
For each ID you will provide a sample answer (explaining the who/what, where, when, and why it is
important). After providing your ID and sample answer, you will then need to explain why you chose this
ID for the list, what makes it so key that it should appear on your imaginary test?
ID: The Great Awakening
The Great Awakening was a unified movement where preachers were key figures because they
encouraged colonists to gain a deeper relationship with God. The first revivals of The Great Awakening
happened throughout the 1730s and then went on to extend through the 1740s and 1750s. Jonathan
Edwards believed in predestination, which means that God has already decided the fate of every
individual. The next decade consisted of preachers spreading the same idea around America. The Great
Awakening allowed people to have a sense of individualism.
