SAQ Practice – Unit 5

Page 1 of 4
STUDENT MATERIALSSTUDENT MATERIALSS-1SAQ PRACTICE – UNIT 5WORLD HISTORY PROJECT - AP / LESSON 5.6 ACTIVITYPurposeUsing visual sources for evidence when forming SAQ responses can be a tricky skill to master. Instead of giving you images to analyze, this activity takes a slightly different approach by instead asking you to search for images that relate to historical developments from Unit 5. In searching for images, you’ll have to use a discerning eye to find those that will help support the claims you want to make, which will help you increase your ease with analyzing and using visual sources as evidence. ProcessIn this SAQ practice activity, you’re again going to analyze visual sources as evidence for your response to the SAQs; however, this time you’re going to have to find the images you want to use! While the College Board does provide the images during the actual AP® World History: Modern exam, searching for images is a practice that should help you advance your image analysis skills, as well as your historical research skills. This is the SAQ you’ll be responding to in this practice activity, except you’ll find the image or images that will go well with each prompt. • Prompt A: Explain ONE way in which the event depicted in the image shows how new technologies increased transportation globally in the nineteenth century.• Prompt B: Identify ONE way in which the event depicted in the image reflects economic changes due to industrialization in the nineteenth century.• Prompt C: Explain ONE way in which the event depicted in the image shows the effects of industrialization on working class families in the nineteenth century.First, download the SAQ Practice—Unit 5 worksheet, and quickly rewrite the prompts in your own words for some practice. Then, get ready to search for images that can be used as evidence when you write responses to the SAQ prompts in the third part of the activity. Your teacher may walk you through the process before you do this on your own. Once you’re in small groups or pairs, pick whether you want to respond to Prompt B or C. Once you’ve decided, search for an image that you can analyze and then use as evidence to help you respond to the prompt. Once you’re done finding images for analysis and responding to one of the SAQ prompts, be prepared to share your answers with the class.
