Unit 10 Study Guide
The vocabulary terms to define or ID and the project questions on this study guide are
considered homework. For homework you should…
• Read the Modern World History textbook and the class readings to help you better
understand and answer the corresponding questions and address the terms.
• Study class notes, readings and vocabulary (15-25 minutes, 5 times per week).
• For simple vocabulary terms, provide a thorough definition you understand. For vocabulary
IDs, use the unit slideshow, notes and readings and the text to thoroughly address the
5Ws. A finished ID is 3 to 4 sentences with a power word (probably in the how or why
sentence – underline the power word) with each of the 5Ws of your terms highlighted a
different color. More info about simple vocabulary and vocab IDs is available on edhs.org.
