Study for the Chapter 19 Test

Ch 19 Activities



The test will be Tuesday 11/1 & Wednesday 11/2.

 

1) Complete the Ch 19 Study Guide
 
2) Make your own study set on Quizlet (two from each section)

3) Take the Ch 19 Test and Quizzes (Progress Test Monitoring) for practice

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.

Crash Course #26: The Gilded Age (and more videos follow)

The US Constitution Test is Thursday and Friday (4/23 & 24). Study flashcards on your phone or online!

US Constitution Flashcards

Use your phone or other device to study flashcards.  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 Elm US Constitution Test 2015
  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. You do not have to spend money on an app.
