About
This quiz focuses on American imperialism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, specifically covering the period from approximately 1850 to 1920. Designed for 11th-grade students studying Advanced Placement United States History, the assessment evaluates students' understanding of key imperialist policies, territorial acquisitions, and influential figures. The questions require students to demonstrate mastery of essential vocabulary terms, analyze the motivations behind American expansionism, and comprehend the complex relationships between domestic policies and foreign interventions. Students must understand the chronological development of American imperial policy, from early trade missions like Commodore Perry's opening of Japan to major territorial acquisitions including Hawaii, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and the Panama Canal Zone. The quiz demands knowledge of crucial documents and policies such as the Monroe Doctrine, Roosevelt Corollary, Teller Amendment, and Platt Amendment, as well as the ability to distinguish between different forms of journalism and political movements of the era. Created by Sarah Drum, a History teacher in the US who teaches grade 11, this comprehensive assessment serves multiple instructional purposes throughout a unit on American imperialism. The quiz functions effectively as a summative assessment following instruction on this historical period, allowing teachers to evaluate student comprehension of both factual knowledge and conceptual understanding. It can also be adapted for review sessions before major examinations, homework assignments to reinforce classroom learning, or formative assessment to identify areas requiring additional instruction. The variety of question formats, including vocabulary matching, multiple choice analysis, and political cartoon interpretation, supports diverse learning styles and assessment needs. This assessment aligns with NCSS.D2.His.1.9-12, NCSS.D2.His.3.9-12, and AP History standards that emphasize analyzing historical interpretations, evaluating evidence, and understanding the relationship between historical context and contemporary issues.
