Unit 4 – Ethnicity & Political
Sexy Vocabulary
1. The following terms may come from your
textbook (Chapters 7 & 8), notes &/or the
Internet (like Quizlet). They should be
completed in a fashion so that if they were lost,
you would be bummed. Use them as a study
guide.
2. Your cards must be hand-written. Your
cards must be individual; one term/one card.
The number and term appear on one side while
the definition appears on the opposite (see
format example on back).
3. Please keep cards in the numerical order
they are given in.
4. Your cards need to be bound (paper-clip,
rubber band, binder clip, etc.) or packaged
(part of spiral set, in a Ziploc bag, etc.) with
your name and period printed on the first card.
5. Cards are due the day of the Unit Test.
