(Fall Examination: The New World)

MAPS ARE HERE

There will be a REVIEW SESSION

TO BE ANNOUNCED

The final examination is intended to last 90 minutes.

You have an additional 30 minutes if you need it.

It will consist of the following sections:

I. Multiple Choice: (20% 40 questions) Cumulative

The best way to prepare for Multiple Choice is to review your class notes and your lists of identifications and terms. Go over one or two sections each day up until the exam.

II. Quote Matching: (10% 20 items) Cumulative

You will receive two sets of ten quotations and two name banks. Match each quote up with the proper speaker. Note: Each quote should be matched up with the character who spoke it (even if that individual is fictional). That means that quotes by Socrates will match up with Socrates rather than Plato, look for Odysseus rather than Homer, and Prometheus rather than Aeschylus. This shouldn’t be a problem because I won’t have Homer, Plato, or Aeschylus as options in the name bank.

III. Maps: (10% 20 items) Cumulative

You are required to fill out TWO maps. One map will be the same map you’ve already worked on all semester. The second map is a new map: Renaissance Era Europe and the New World.

Map Items are listed ONLINE.

IV. Short Analysis Activity (10%) Cumulative

You will be expected to complete a short analysis exercise. This could be in the form of a Relationship, Turning Points (Athens or Rome), Short Answer, or Document Analysis (image or text). Your teacher will tell you closer to the final examination date.

• EASON SECTIONS WILL HAVE Quotation Analysis: (10%)

  • The quotation will be from either Sepulveda (page 99-101), Vitoria (104-106), or Montaigne (108-110). You will need to identify the author, explain his argument (beyond just the quotation!), and say why someone from that time might have thought differently.

V. Essay: (50%) YOU PICK ONE OF THE FOLLOWING ESSAYS:

You must write on one of the following essays.

You MAY bring a thesis statement (one sentence) and FOUR (4) DIRECT quotations to the examination with you.

YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO DO THIS. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE ALL THE QUOTES AS DIRECT QUOTES.

YOU CAN ALSO SUMMARIZE THEM.

EACH DIRECT QUOTE MAY BE NO MORE THAN A SINGLE SENTENCE.

1. The More Things Change... Evaluate how ideas about the difference between “civilized” and “barbaric,” changed over time. Using Greek and Renaissance sources, discuss the degree to which Western ideas of what it meant to be “civilized” changed.

For this essay, you are not presenting your own definition of civilized/barbaric. Instead, you are reviewing what we learned at the beginning of the year and then comparing it to the ideas of later writers. You probably noticed that you can talk about “monsters” as well—often, the characteristics of “monsters” were similar to those of “barbarians.”

1. Women in History: To what degree did notions of womanhood and femininity changed during the era we studied? Be sure to consider women in Athens, Rome, and the Renaissance.

2. Virtue in History and Literature… Over the course of the past semester, we’ve read about a wide variety of people, both historical and literary (fictional). Choose three of the options below, at least two of which must be historical figures, and one must be fictional. Which one do you believe to have been the most virtuous? Why?

QUOTE MATCHING

You will receive two sets of ten quotations and two name banks. Match each quote up with the proper speaker. Note: Each quote should be matched up with the character who spoke it (even if that individual is fictional). That means that quotes by Socrates will match up with Socrates rather than Plato, look for Odysseus rather than Homer, and Prometheus rather than Aeschylus. This shouldn’t be a problem because I won’t have Homer, Plato, or Aeschylus as options in the name bank.

The purpose of the list below is to help you review the major pieces/characters we’ve read about. DO NOT expect that you will have to memorize a list of quotes. Instead, pay attention to the main IDEAS that each person presents. For example, a quote from Achilles would probably involve references to rage, Patroclus, or Hector. Even if it didn’t use any names, you would look for references to the Trojan War and Achilles’ bestial behavior after defeating Hector.

Quote Matching Example

Answer on the separate answer sheet provided under the column MATCHING. Place the proper name on the answer sheet opposite the number for the relevant quote. You will answer in groups of 10. Each name in the table will only be used once per section.

1. “The Krusty Krab pizza is the pizza for you and me!”

1. “Boy, when Marge first told me she was going to the Police Academy, I thought it would be fun and exciting, you know, like the movie... Spaceballs. But instead, it's been painful and disturbing, like the movie Police Academy.”

1. “Now let's get this straight, Rubble, I don't need permission from my wife to make a decision. In my cave, I reign supreme, *su-PREME*!”

1. “Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy. Both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.”

1. “Jinkies!”
