About
This quiz comprehensively covers the Progressive Era in United States history, spanning approximately 1900-1920, and is designed for grades 11-12 students in Advanced Placement U.S. History courses. The questions assess students' knowledge of key reformers, legislative achievements, social movements, and political philosophies that defined this transformative period in American history. Students must demonstrate mastery of specific constitutional amendments (particularly the 19th Amendment for women's suffrage), identify prominent muckrakers like Ida Tarbell and Upton Sinclair, understand the distinction between different reform approaches such as those of Booker T. Washington versus W.E.B. DuBois, and recognize the impact of landmark Supreme Court cases like Plessy v. Ferguson. The content requires students to connect cause and effect relationships, such as understanding how "The Jungle" led to food safety legislation, and to distinguish between competing reform philosophies and government systems like the Spoils System versus Civil Service Reform. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying Advanced Placement U.S. History in grades 11-12. The assessment serves as an excellent tool for reviewing essential Progressive Era content before unit tests or AP examinations, and can effectively be used as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge or as a formative assessment to gauge student understanding of reform movements and their key figures. Teachers can assign this quiz for homework to reinforce classroom learning or use it during review sessions to help students solidify their grasp of chronological relationships and historical causation. The multiple-choice format mirrors AP exam question styles, making it particularly valuable for test preparation. This quiz aligns with NCSS standards for historical thinking and supports AP U.S. History Course and Exam Description requirements for Period 7, focusing on students' ability to analyze the expanding role of government during the Progressive Era and evaluate the effectiveness of various reform movements in addressing social, economic, and political challenges.
