WHAT YOU ASK???? OMG!!!!! IT'S ONLY THE MOST AWESOME GAME IN THE WORLD!!!!
THAT'S RIGHT.... THIS GAME IS KNOWN WORLD WIDE AND HAS A LOYAL APUSH FOLLOWING!!! YOU PLAYED IT - YOU KNOW JUST HOW ADDICTED YOU ARE TO THE GAME!!! BET YOUR EXCITED!!
Ok, so let me explain to you once again (since I did this in class already). I will start the game off by giving you a historical term of which you have had since you started taking APUSH (that's right, all the way back to chapter 1). The person responding to me, must give the HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE of that term and then that person names the next term, beginning with the next letter. Here is an example (not related to the subject, just so none of you really smart children decide to try and rip mine off....):
EXAMPLE:
I post the word "APPLE"
John Doe responses with: "A fruit of which fell from a tree and hit Isaac Newton in the head; thus launching the Scientific Revolution" NEXT WORD: BATS.....
And thus the game would have begun. Again, remember that my example is NOT one of your historical terms. You can use ANY of the terms you have had up to this point. That means you can use APUSH 1 terms and APUSH 2 terms (up to Chapter 34).
Dealing with X, Y, and Z words. True, there aren't many of these in your APUSH historical terms, but to make the game interesting - when you get to any of these three letters, you must use any that does exist. If there are no more words that begin with X, Y, or Z (x & z will be the hardest), then you can declare a "SKIP" and move to the next letter. WARNING: if the person responding to your next letter finds a word that has not be used - then they can declare a FOUL and YOU (the one that declared the "SKIP" will lose point.
BTW - when you reach the end of the alphabet - you know... you just start over from the beginning!
How to win at this game. Post the most historical significant definitions and new words. The winner gets a free homework pass to be used on any assignment they choose!!!
The game stops at mid-night on Friday!!!
GOOD LUCK!!!!

ReplyDeleteNext Term: Underwood Tariff Bill

DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteUnderwood Tariff Bill- Moved by Wilson’s aggressive leadership, the House swiftly passed the Underwood Tariff Bill, which provided for a substantial reduction of rates. When a swarm of lobbyists descended on the Senate seeking to disembowel the bill, Wilson promptly issued a combative message to the people, urging them to hold their elected representatives in line. The tactic worked. The force of public opinion, aroused by the president’s oratory, secured late in 1913 final approval of the bill Wilson wanted. (Page 691)
ReplyDeleteHistorical significance: The new Underwood Tariff substantially reduced import fees. It also was a landmark in tax legislation. Under authority granted by the recently ratified Sixteenth Amendment, Congress enacted a graduated income tax, beginning with a modest levy on incomes over $3,000 (then considerably higher than the average family’s income).

Gamblers in western lands were doing a “land-office business” on borrowed capital, much of it in the shaky currency of “wildcat banks”. The speculative craze spread to canals, roads, railroads, and slaves.
