Notes for Unit 1 Exams

Hey guys, all notes for the tests next week are currently posted on the CHAMPS website. Please make sure to print them out or study the notes thoroughly on your own. However, don't think that just by studying the notes, that you will be prepared for the test. Studying the notes will help you for the multiple-choice section of the test. To do well on the short-constructive response portion, you will need to review your Daily DBQs and assigned readings. All readings and Daily DBQs are also on the CHAMPS website. I recommend you start studying a bit this weekend to get you prepared for next week. 


Note: The notes come in four sections, make sure to look over ALL four. 


Week 1: Discovery to Jamestown
Week 2: America Settles: Money and Religion
Week 3: The Journey to America
Week 4: The Road to independence

America: The Story of Us

Class, please watch "America: The Story of Us" parts I and II on YouTube to review for the test on Thursday/Friday. We watched this in class a few weeks ago, pay close attention to the perspective of English colonists and their motives for coming to North America. Also, focus on the difference of motives of the Jamestown settlers and Puritans. There will be a short-constructive response question on this topic.
