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.
