About this resource

This comprehensive quiz covers American history from the 1920s through the 1930s, spanning the post-World War I period through the Great Depression and New Deal era. Designed for 11th grade students, the assessment requires deep understanding of economic cycles, political responses to crisis, and social transformations during these pivotal decades. Students must demonstrate knowledge of specific legislation like the Immigration Quotas Act and the American Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, cultural movements including the Harlem Renaissance and changing women's roles, key figures from Charles Lindbergh to Eleanor Roosevelt, and the complex relationship between government policy and economic recovery. The questions demand analytical thinking about cause-and-effect relationships, such as connecting overproduction to farm depression, linking the Great Migration to the Harlem Renaissance, and understanding how World War II ultimately ended the Great Depression. Students need to distinguish between different New Deal programs and their specific purposes, comprehend the constitutional implications of Roosevelt's Court Packing Plan, and analyze how mass media and consumer culture shaped American society in the 1920s. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying early 20th century American history in grade 11. The assessment serves multiple instructional purposes, functioning effectively as a comprehensive unit review before a major examination, a formative assessment to gauge student understanding of complex historical connections, or a structured homework assignment that reinforces classroom discussions. Teachers can use individual sections as warm-up activities focusing on specific themes like New Deal programs or 1920s cultural changes, while the full quiz provides thorough preparation for high-stakes testing. The questions align with standards NCSS.D2.His.1.9-12 and NCSS.D2.His.3.9-12, requiring students to evaluate historical arguments and focus inquiry to facilitate understanding of complex historical periods. This resource supports differentiated instruction through its mix of factual recall and analytical thinking, allowing educators to identify areas where students need additional support while building the critical thinking skills essential for advanced historical study.
