fAPUSH – Term List
Directions: Approximately every 2-3
weeks, students are given a term quiz of
15 words. The first term quiz is only on
the first 15 words, but as the year
progresses, the quizzes become
cumulative, helping students remember
all the terms by the end of the year. You
will thank me for this at the end of the
year!
