Final Exam Questions
Each question counts as 10 points for a maximum of 50 points.
1. What might students learn about communities from studying an
example of an economic failure that would not be revealed from studying an
economic success?
2. What kinds of evidence would indicate changes either in a community’s
standard of living OR in social mobility through history?
3. What kinds of historical sources would you use to study the history of
an ethnic group in our community?
4. How can national political issues be studied through a local history
focus? Is there any advantage to this approach over a standard textbook
approach to U.S. history?
5. Describe how you would develop a local history unit appropriate for
fourth to sixth grade children? What would you study, how would you do it,
what end product would the children produce, and how would you assess it?
