At the end of each chapter, students will be required to fill in the sheets in this slide show to summarize what they have learned over the past few weeks. They should be completed using their homework, textbook, and knowledge of the subject matter. Each “Key Idea” is located on the first homework assignment for each chapter. Each “Objective” corresponds with an individual review sheet that they have completed for homework. For example, “Objective 1.a: What were the early causes of the Civil War?” is the first objective on Review Sheet 14-1, their first homework assignment for this year. These summaries will be kept in the front of their binder to be reviewed often in preparation for the final exam in June.
