2. Early Man Start slide show (F5) and go through the presentation. As you move through each slide reread the information. If you struggle, go back and do it as many times as you need before it becomes automatic to you. Do these presentations often, do them well, do them to perfection, and then, do them AGAIN! This is not an exhaustive list for everything that will appear on the SOL, but it is a great way to get the basic content down. Remember, if you know the content inside and out, you will be better prepared to answer any questions in any form (visual, analysis, evaluative) on the exam. 2 Types of Slides –Type 1: Straight up questions. Answer to the best of your ability. Answer will appear as you click. –Type 2: Matching. Match up either the fact that appears with the Person/Topic presented, or the reverse, match the topic/person that appears with the fact. The answer will move either beside or underneath the correct space. IT’S EASY PEOPLE! ALL YOU DO IS START THE SHOW AND CLICK!!!
