Tonight's HW "Make Your Own Test"

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?

Yes.

Using all of the resources available to you, prepare a twenty-five (25) question multiple-choice test.

Feel free to use all of the resources available to you on the blog. There are tons of websites out there that you can use to find information to create questions. Don't just copy the questions from the review book.

Make sure that your exam is fair & balanced. Remember the purpose of a test is to see what you've learned, and how well you're meeting the standards for your class. Your test should be a balance of 5 easy questions (just about anyone who's ever taken an American History course could answer them), 10-15 moderately difficult questions (Challenging; you would have to have read the textbook, paid attention, took good notes, etc. in order to get these questions), and 5-10 tough ones (make your brain sweat difficult).

Let's all commit to making sure that we all complete this assignment. On Friday, we will take each others' tests, and see how we're doing. I'll collect 'em, and use the questions you made to create the exam.
