- Complete vocab - For the vocabulary I want you to focus more on completing "identifications" rather than just copying terms out of the back of the book. Use the definitions that you find, but make sure to try and put them in your own words, in a format that will be easier for you to remember. Additionally, read the sections surrounding the vocabulary and add any additional information to the identification that you may feel necessary.
- For the people, consider who they are, why they are placed in this chapter, what their purpose was in American history then, and what their lasting impact in American history may have been.

- Take notes on this chapter. Students need to try and make sure they are not too extensive in their notes. If they are typed they should try to have no more than 3 pages single-spaced. If the student has a problem keeping the notes under this amount, they should not worry about it, I will work with them on getting their notes stream-lined.
