each night. Focus on what you do not know.

Review teacher Power Point notes, can be found on my website in the May & June calendars (which you should

identify specific details from major events covered in these chapters by looking at images and maps. Although I have
tried to make a clear list of questions and terms to prompt your thinking, you are responsible for all material learned
