AP European History Exam Review Assignment

 Font must be at least 11-point
 Put chapter name and topic # at the top of the page
 Content: Choose carefully! Be thoughtful! You can’t write down everything!

that makes sense. You may use graphic organizers or visuals if you would like.
 Make key people/terms/events stand out – ex. bold, underline
