Vocabulary list guidelines
When writing information for your terms, most times, definitions will not be enough. Make sure your information has
substance and make them succinct. Focus on what makes terms important and what long-term significance they may have
had. I recommend keeping a binder so you have them to study from for finals as well as the AP exam in May!
