Tomorrow you will get your test back (after you finish the exam)
Over the weekend you can “fill in” your answers. I have tried to provide some direction on your exam.
Each corrected FRQ gets you back half your points.
Preferred method: me your TCs
Less preferred method: hand write and turn in on Monday

38. Finish Quiz trade-and-grade
Perhaps you saw the balance between the specific and the general in your question formation.
Ch. 11 = General themes
Ch. 12 = Specifics
Being a historian requires you to do both…at the same time.
I will check you off as I walk around at the end of the period. Have it out on your desk.

39. Terms sheet mania! Here is your safety net for tomorrows exam.
For each ID you get correct you will get 1 point back on the exam
You will take the MC first and then do IDs (or if you’re a daring you will do nothing!!!)
This is how this test will have test corrections.
