Unit Test 4 – Conflict in Europe is TOMORROW!

If you have a device that you know will work to use the iRespond web app, and it’s okay with your parents/guardians that you bring it to school, please bring it to class tomorrow for the test.

3rd period did not get to review the study guide or the crossword puzzle – because we were so far behind in content that you needed for your test tomorrow.  No worries – answers are linked here, and you should double check what you’ve worked on.  Also check out the other links which will be helpful for studying.

AC Classes (1st, 2nd, 6th, & 7th) reviewed everything and played review games.  Please use the links to double check and to review/study for your test.

You will be able to use Quizizz without downloading an app of any kind.  Good luck!  I WILL know if you used it, and I hope everyone tries.  I did not create this quiz, and it may include some information you don’t need for the test, but it’s a great review.
