          1. Please  note that in the "Prepare" book, the Multiple Choice Questions and the Essay Questions (Ch. 13 pg. 255 -257, Ch. 14 pg. 282-284, Ch. pg. 15 303-305, Ch. 16  pg. 325-327 are "old style" AP questions. They are great for review points, but since they are not generally document based they are not current. Use them to test your factual memory, rather than actual practice essays.
           2. The key names are a little more comprehensive than the text. As with reviewing the Define Identify at the end of each text chapter, do not dwell on  words and names you already know. After consulting with the class, subsequent chapters will begin with the text Define/ Identifypage, and use the "Prepare" Key Names page in your review.
           3. The Documents and Readings at the end of each chapter are a good review. We will also be using these in our skills workshops.   
Activity - Go over the Key Concepts and events at the end of each chapter. As we discussed, we will break these up and use them at the beginnong of each class to help us focus on the Objective each day. The general plan is to use the text as a daily warm up and the Prepare for review.
