Population & Migration: Key Terms and Concepts
1. Your cards must be hand-written; one
term per card. The number and term appear
on one side of the card while the definition
and an example (2 sentences) appear on
the opposite side of the card.
2. When turning in cards:
- Please keep cards in the numerical order
- cards must be bound (paper-clip, rubber
band, binder clip, etc.) or packaged (part of
spiral set, in a Ziploc bag, etc.)
- name and period printed on the first card.
3. Cards are due the day of the Unit Test.
On-time completion of the cards grants
you access to test corrections.
