US History and Government Examination: June 2012

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

The reform movements—such as abolition, the push for women's suffrage, and the labor movement—shaped modern America. A document analysis activity and essay prompt help learners consider why. Other items in the high-level exam include an analytical essay on American foreign policy and 50 multiple choice questions, some of which use a primary source stimulus.
