Please use this space to compile your review information for the semester exam. You should be able to use the information from the review pages as your building blocks for this. I would not, however, just copy and paste the information from the previous sections. I would use it to create a list of terms, events, names, etc to quiz yourselves on. This list should be organized by unit and subject so it is not overwhelming -- dont just dump 10,000 names in here. You should also be thinking of possible essay questions that I might ask on the exam. Of course, these essays will ask you to compare the various units and regions of the world to one another. A few notes about the exam:  How to study:
 * All of the information from this semester is eligible for the exam, but you should make an effort to distinguish between important ideas and concepts and unimportant ones.
 * There is really no reason to do intensive studying for the exam over the break. You will have 8 days to freak out after you return. No need to ruin your break.
 * The first thing you should do when you do study is to go through your notebook and get a sense for what you remember and what you don't. That will give you a sense of your priorities and help direct you in what to study. You can visit the weekly note summaries to refresh your memory on what confuses you.
 * Make sure you are thinking about the big themes of the semester -- what did these societies have in common with one another, and how did they evolve from the earliest civilizations?
 * The format of the exam will RESEMBLE this (ie, point totals may change a little... this is from last year's exam):
 * 1 long essay (50 pts) -- you will have a choice
 * 4 short (less than 8 sentences) essay -- you will have a choice (20 pts each)
 * 3 chronologies (6 pts each)
 * 31 fill-in questions (like on a mid unit quiz) -- you will be able to skip a few (maybe 3-4) (62 points)
 * 10 map locations (20 points)
 * 230 points total, worth 20% of semester grade.
 * Make sure you know where the big points are, and order your priorities accordingly.

- Figure out what you need to brush up on - Look through old review sheets - Work on wiki collaboratively - Quiz yourself on names, events, terms - Think about big themes -- what ties all of these units together?
