MAPS & GLOBES AND CULTURE TEST OVERVIEW

  • The test will be on Friday, October 13.  
  • You should do well, but on the off chance you earn less than a 70, please come Monday ready to do a retake.  
  • Since we didn’t have time to do the extra credit activity we would normally do with this unit, I am putting bonus point questions on the test.
  • In addition to what is listed below, re-reading the textbook pages listed for this unit in a previous post may be helpful when doing analysis and bonus questions.
