Final Exam Prep

As we begin reviewing for the final exam this week, here are my recommendations for you:

• Make sure all GoogleDrive folders are highly organized by unit
• "Catalog" all target information to begin building a Review Sheet: including all content targets and terms from all units, all in-class frames, and all "Identification" terms from unit tests
• Print out Reading Quizzes and review your strengths and weaknesses
• Review key maps in the book for each unit, possibly cutting and pasting them from the e-book (this should focus more on geography than events)
• As you begin studying, make sure you are "actively studying"- that you're doing something rather than simply "reading" a screen or piece of paper. That can include annotating, amending, merging, quizzing a friend, flash cards, etc.  Quizlet alone is no substitute for studying
• As you move through active review, give yourself a "break"by screening your classmates' Animoto videos
• Look at the buckets and consider what themes are shared and are complementary across our units

Here's the Final Exam Format:

Part I: Multiple Choice (50 Questions) x 1 point each

Part II: Primary Source Multiple Choice Questions (10 Questions) x 1 point each

Part III: Identification (20 Questions) x 1 point each

Part IV: Map Questions (10 Questions) x 2 points each

Remember: the final exam will comprise 20% of your semester grade
