Watch Ch 19 Videos
If you have time (headphones only in class)
This video, by John Green of Crash Course, gives a great overview of the time.   
The videos in this series are aimed at high school/college-aged students (and therefore contain some more mature analysis and humor, so put your mature-young-adult cap on) but they do an exciting job.

Chapter 18 Section 1 Flashcards SET 1 (click here)

Use your phone or other device to study flashcards.  You can a browser or an app.  There are literally 100's of flashcard apps for apple and android devices.  Most should work fine.  

1. Download a flashcard app
2. Import flashcards from  quizlet by searching under Chapter 18 Section 1 by chicagoatlas
3. Add the set to your flashcard app's library or sets.

Quizlet has it's own app that you can download for all phones.  Flashcards by NKO is a free app for Apple and Android products that I've used. There's also flashcards+ and StudyBlue (for both Apple and Android and free) but have not used them. Do not spend money on an app.

Troubleshooting Guide

1. Can’t access the login page?
   Check to see if your internet is working for other sites.  If it is, check to see that you’ve spelled the address correctly:   www.pearsonsuccessnet.com or just Google successnet and it should be the first result. 
2. Can’t log in?
   Do you have the user name and password your teacher gave you?  If not you’ll need one.  If you do and still can’t log in, check that you’re spelling everything exactly the same.  Also check your caps lock key (no caps!)  One letter off will cause it to fail.
3. You’ve logged in but when you click on the textbook you don’t get anything?
   Check your internet settings for pop-up blockers.  The textbook wants to open in a new window, but if pop-ups are blocked you’ll get nothing.  (Sometimes there will be a bar at the top of your window telling you it has blocked a pop-up; click on the bar and you should be able to allow them for this website.)
4. You’ve logged in but when you click on the textbook you get an error message?
   Are you sure you turned off the pop-up blocker?  Try restarting your browser or using a different browser.  Also make sure that your browser and plug-ins are updated. 
5. Anything else?  Contact Pearson tech support or write down specifics about your problem and see me after school.
