Events in History Crisis, Please Help?

Wow, I hope that test isn’t coming up anytime soon. These are enormously broad topics to summarize in a short paragraph. In fact, it’s impossible to do justice to them and you would get nothing out of it.

Let me give you some tips on how to study. I’m assuming you have a textbook. Is the test on several chapters or the whole book? I’m thinking that with that much information it’s a whole book test. Don’t reread the whole book, you don’t have time. Take each topic above and start an outline. As you skim through each chapter, place any information on the topic underneath each sentence it relates to. For instance, under “Cultures in Colonial North America from 1700- 1780” you might put France, England, Spain, etc. Then under each suptopic, put important people, dates, events, etc. Set it up something like this:

I. Cultures in Colonial North America from 1700-1780

A. France

1. French and Indian War

a. details about the war

B. England

1. etc.

Go through and set up each topic the same way. It will be a lot of work but it will be faster than reading the entire book and you will have study notes to refer back to.

There are also plenty of history homework web sites that you can go to to help you. The key is, don’t try to learn everything there is to know about each topic. Just get the highlights as you don’t have enough time to be that thorough.

You’re kidding, right? These are HUGE topics, and not something that can be summarized in twenty-five words or less. If you have already read about them but you are lacking knowledge, then you need to re-read your information, or find alternate sources. There are wonderful books in the library about ech of these topics, and there are some engrossing books of historical fiction (eg. John Jay’s works or James Mitchener’s books) that place fictional characters against the historical background. You can learn a great deal from these sorts of books, in addition to having a pleasant adventure in reading.

Prior to the Cuban Missile Crisis, Cold War Fever ran rampant in America, and nowhere was once this extra obtainable to the hundreds than the general public university process. Yes, there have been bomb shelters, for the ones few who had the money for one, and neighborhood Civil Defense organizations had consistent coaching periods/beer blasts. But that introduced the chance of coming near near missile assault to a fairly small percent of Americans. The air-raid drill taught hundreds of thousands of American university youngsters that the evil Russkies had been just a colossal crimson button clear of blowing us all up, and our simplest desire of being stored was once to hurry out into the halls upon listening to the firehouse sirens and take a seat at the flooring, with our backs to the partitions, quilt our heads with our fingers, and positioned our heads among our legs. Of path, we adopted this knowledge with out query. Well, just about with out query. One of my associates, title lengthy forgotten, requested why we had been doing what we had been, and I, now not traditionally an assertive 7 yr ancient, spoke back, “So we will be able to kiss our asses good-bye”. Yes, I fairly did say that, and I received in a few form of difficulty for it on the time. But again to the CMC. In that heady, anxiety-stuffed time, the drills had been common. When the quandary stabilized, folks discovered that the Russians fairly had not more wish for nuclear annihilation than we did – and the sport persevered on, with out the identical measure of worry. I cannot don’t forget a further drill after that. You might argue that the Cuban Missile Crisis marked the opening of the tip of the Cold War. Boy, did you get the quick straw.

At first I was going to offer my services as a writer. I was going to suggest astronomical fees to do your homework and about ten times that much to take your test but I didn’t. It occurred to me that you might have access to millions of Daddy’s dollars. I am not a school teacher so it matters to me whether or not you can read and write. I may want to hire you someday and I don’t hire idiots. Instead I will suggest you stop trying to cheat yourself out of learning opportunities and start doing your own work. Even if you have millions you will need an education or you won’t have it for long.

My nephew just graduated from high school. He can’t read his diploma, can’t read street signs, can’t read a job application, may never be able to fill one out correctly and had to have an examiner read the written part of his driving test.

He will spend his life on welfare, selling drugs or in jail. Do you want to spend your life as an illiterate???

Pick up a US History Book, I’m sure you have one from school. Open the book and start reading.
