About this resource

This quiz comprehensively covers the major themes and events of 1920s America, focusing on the cultural, social, economic, and political transformations that defined the Roaring Twenties. The questions assess students' knowledge of key historical figures like F. Scott Fitzgerald, Charles Lindbergh, Henry Ford, and Marcus Garvey, while examining pivotal events such as the Scopes Trial, Teapot Dome Scandal, and the causes of the 1929 Stock Market Crash. Students need to understand the interconnected nature of this decade's developments, including the tensions between traditional values and modernization, the impact of Prohibition on American society, the cultural flowering of the Harlem Renaissance, and the nativist backlash reflected in immigration restrictions and cases like Sacco and Vanzetti. The complexity of these questions, which require analysis of cause-and-effect relationships and understanding of historical significance, makes this appropriate for 11th-grade students in Advanced Placement U.S. History courses. Created by Rickey Lindsey, a History teacher in the US who teaches grades K through University. This quiz serves as an excellent review tool for students preparing for the AP U.S. History exam, specifically targeting the period from 1920-1929 that represents a significant portion of the curriculum. Teachers can utilize this assessment for multiple instructional purposes: as a diagnostic tool at the beginning of the unit to gauge prior knowledge, as guided practice during instruction to reinforce key concepts, or as a summative review before unit tests or AP exam preparation. The quiz effectively supports formative assessment by allowing teachers to identify areas where students need additional instruction, particularly in understanding the complex social tensions and economic factors that characterized the decade. This assessment aligns with NCSS Standards for Historical Thinking and supports AP U.S. History Learning Objectives 7.1-7.3, which focus on students' ability to explain the causes and effects of economic, social, and cultural developments in the 1920s.
