Identifications This type of questions asks you to provide both factual and understanding of a term. You need to answer the following elements: Who: Who or what was involved? Describe the circumstances, provide the background. What: What is the term? Is it a person, even, ideology /concept? Define it in greater detail. Where: Location. Where did the person live? Where did the idea/concept originate? Where did the event take place? When: This is asking you about time. When did the event happen? When did the person live? When was the concept formulated or introduced? Based on whether you are discussing an event, person, or concept what the event or person you should provide an exact date, other times it is an era. If you don’t remember the exact date, I will accept broader time frames. For example, the late 1860s is acceptable, but the 1800s is not because it is too broad. Why: Why is the term important? In other words, why is the term significant in and of itself, as well as its broader significance? Think about consequences; why is the event, idea, person, important / significant?
