HOW TO USE THE STUDY GUIDE
This study guide is designed to help guide your learning for this unit. Use this structure to
generate and organize terms, ideas, questions, and your own key insights from each lesson.
As you read, discover, and learn from your course materials, you should continue to add
information and evidence from each lesson, and to record your responses to each unit question.
By the end of the unit, the work you do in this guide will become a thorough review sheet that
you can use to develop strong and well-supported exam essays.
