Unit 1 Overview
How to do well in this course
After you have skimmed the entire unit, start at the beginning and work your way through. Your first step will be to print the learning guide. Skim it before beginning.
Read through the terms for the first section. You will find them in the section book and in the learning guide. Notice that the terms are not defined as you are not being asked to memorize definitions but to understand how the terms are used in context. Write a definition in your own words beside each term in the learning guide.
When you get to each assignment, start by doing your best to understand it, then get in contact with your teacher for clarification. Your teacher's role is to help you succeed. This usually takes a some back and forth communication.
Do each quiz after completing your section assignment. Each quiz will require you to match the assigned terms with the best definition according to how the term is used in the unit. The quiz will also have five reading check questions. Keep in mind that the quizzes do not have a password, but you only get one chance to write them. Make it count.
At the end of the unit, you will need to hand in your completed learning guide. You should have been thinking about the unit project concerning the League of Nations as you worked through the unit. Now is the time to put all of these ideas together. Again, you should check in with your teacher before putting a lot of time into this.
Since the unit test has a password, you will have to schedule a time to write it. Also, your learning guide must be complete to write it. Give yourself at least an hour. While the quizzes use multiple choice and matching questions, the unit test requires you to write three paragraphs, each in response to readings that are provided.
