They may be quizzed or required to produce a written response to prompt. Evidence of students’ miscomprehension or lack of comprehension is addressed by the teacher in subsequent lessons. Assessment of students’ mastery of historiography will be ongoing; it will be inherent in students’ formative and summative assessment work, and the instructor must provide constant feedback in order to reinforce or adjust students’ practice of historiography. Summative Assessments Students are required to complete a series of multiple choice questions modeled after those which will appear on the AP European History Exam.

Students are also required to complete an essay that integrates content and concepts from throughout the unit into a coherent written argument. In the case of a document-based question, the student is required to also integrate evidence from a series of provided primary sources. Resources Palmer, R.
