HW: Cornell Notes on p.272-273 and p.278-279
How imperialist did the US seem to people from other countries?• You will get to be the teacher and use my scoring guide format to
grade the US on its degress of imperialism from the point of view of the countries affected.
• Go through proficient first and check the items.• If all proficient criteria are checked, then go up to see if we meet
any of the exemplary qualities. If it does, then circle exemplary.• If not all proficient criteria are checked then circle either “Basic” or
“Below Basic” depending on how many criteria were missing.
• The higher the US scores the more imperialist it was.• Hopefully this will also give you a better sense of how my scoring
guide works!
