1pt Extra Credit
***Understanding of ALL of the underlined terms in this document is needed to succeed in this class. To
further study these terms do one of the following:
Draw pictures with the terms
Make flash cards of all terms
Make a concept map of all terms (if you don’t know what this is look it up on Wikipedia)
Write out definitions of all terms
Or come up with your own way of studying these terms. Just make sure to ok it with me to make sure
you’ll get your extra credit.
You will get one point of extra credit for this part of the worksheet.
This must be turned in attached to this study guide at the time the study guide is due!!!!
