Test #3 Review

Mr. M is out sick today, and thus you have a day to review and begin preparing for our next unit on the French Revolution.

Your assignment is twofold:

(1)  Read and take notes on chapter 11.1 to begin studying the French Revolution.  This section does not have a reading guide you'll need to read it closely and record main ideas for each section.  You will have a short quiz on this tomorrow in addition to your regularly scheduled test on Unit #3: Absolutism & Enlightenment. Tips below:

  • Anything highlighted should be recorded
  • Anything that looks like a vocabulary term should be recorded
  • Know the three estates
  • If no key terms were spotted, summarize the main idea of each paragraph 
  • Make sure you're reading everything for comprehension, not simply jotting down keywords for the quiz.

(2) Any remaining time should be used to study for the test.  Use the study guide on the right to quiz a partner or study quietly.
