Conflict, Crisis, and Reaction in the Late 18th Century unit test

A test on this unit alone, marked as a percentage and a letter grade — for the test your class is actually sitting, rather than for May. Answer everything, then submit once: seeing the answer to question 3 before attempting question 4 makes the final percentage meaningless.

Each paper is built from this unit’s 23 terms and is the same for everyone, so a teacher can assign “Unit 5, Paper 3” and every student sits the identical test. Multiple choice is marked objectively; the written sections you mark yourself against the model answer and rubric.

This course has no free-response prompt tagged to this unit, so one from elsewhere in the course is used. It is still worth writing — the skill transfers.

In your response you should do the following: respond to the question with an evaluative thesis that establishes a line of reasoning; describe a broader historical context relevant to the question; support your argument with specific and relevant evidence; and use historical reasoning to explain relationships among pieces of evidence, demonstrating a complex understanding.
