Study+Guides

=__Instructions on how to do the study guides__= Study guides will consist of a series of questions that relate to the unit we just covered. The idea is to have a guide to prepare for the upcoming unit test. You will answer the guide questions in your evernote. Before the test day we will have a discussion based off of the study guide questions. I will ask each student a question and if you answer sufficiently, you will receive full credit for the study guide. If you answer wrong, you will get a chance on another question. If you answer the second question correctly, you will receive a C on the guide. I feel that this will be an effective way to prepare for each test. All questions asked will be taken from the content that will be on the test.
