Instructions: This list is provided as a courtesy to you, to assist you with note-taking as you
read the textbook at home. While your notes on these key terms will not be collected for a
grade, you are required to define each of these vocabulary words in your history notebook and
study them to prepare for this unit’s exam. Experience has shown that students who a) define
key vocabulary terms in their own words and b) review/memorize the terms prior to unit exams
score significantly higher than students who do not. Creating flash cards to assist in your
studying would be wise.
