Chapter 1 Test Study Guide

Hello, All:

We are going to have our test on Chapter 1, on FRIDAY October 16th.  It will be based on vocab terms, multiple choice, and short answer questions.

The vocab words will come from the worksheets, which we completed for last week's HW.  

The multiple choice questions will be similar to the ones found here.    I will be taking the questions from, "Geography of the United States of America," "Pre-Columbian America and European Exploration," "Human Migration," "Maya, Aztec, Inca," "Native American Indian Societies."

The short answer questions will be based on primary, or secondary sources.  You will read the sources, and then answer questions, based on them.

GOOD LUCK!
