As part of the Rome Test, students must answer a total of four EQ questions - two from the primary chapter, and one each from each chapter of their choice.
Students can use the previous post to get the EQ questions and accompanying student notes from each core. The questions were rewritten, but the notes are unedited. Students were given this handout in class, and direction in how to best answer an EQ question. Students were given time in class to write a practice EQ answer, and some of these drafts were shared and verbally graded in class based on the following criteria:
EQ Answers should:
1. Define the big idea of the question.
2. Give detailed examples and explanations.
a. use key facts and terms (define terms)
b. explain three examples, the most important and detailed exampled should be first, followed by the second with a shorter explanation, and a third that receives a shorter description still.
3. Make sure the importance of the explanation is explained - either
a. in the progression of events that followed the time period in question or
b. how this information relates to elements of our daily life or modern history
Writing down sample answers for each question is an excellent method to study for these EQ questions. The handout presents information to help students draw from information presented by each group in their presentation materials (a link is found in a previous post below).
