__Materials__


 * For in class Mon 4/23-Tues 4/24:**
 * APUSH notebook

 * [[file:2008_MCQ.pdf]] question packet
 * APUSH [[file:APUSH_KeyTerms.pdf]] packet
 * APUSH [[file:APUSH Course Themes.pdf]] list
 * Textbook or AMSCO

__Procedure__

You are creating a study guide to terms from US history you don't know. You will be using the 2008 practice MCQ as a guide to the themes, topics, and terms you need to review the most. You will be creating a list of terms to identify.


 * Creating your list of terms**

1. For each question left blank or marked wrong, identify the following in your notebook:
 * The number of the question
 * Key term from the question's stem
 * Decade, century, or period for the question's topic
 * One or two course themes
 * 5 OTHER specific terms necessary to understanding the question's topic or from alternatives A-E

2. You will have all day Monday and most of Tuesday to work on this part of the assignment. **Bring a textbook or AMSCO to class Tuesday!**

3. Set up a master document with full heading in the upper right. You will be **typing** your terms into a study guide.

4. **Type** your list of specific terms, and then **organize them by theme**.

5. Within each theme, place the terms in **chronological order**.

6. Line all the terms up in their categories down the left margin. Put at least 2-3 returns between each term.


 * Using the list of terms**

1. **Print** your master review document. **Bring** it to class Wednesday 4/25 for a 10 point completion grade.

2. For each term, identify the **cause**(s) and **significance/consequence**(s) that make that term, trend, person, event, idea, etc. relevant to American history. This is to be written out by hand, like your FRQs during the APEX will be. Write concisely since you may have hundreds of terms!
