Chapter 5 Study Guide
Directions: Write down key information for each topic. All of the information can be found in
your notes (the study guide goes in order of your notes, but your test will not be in this order). I
suggest doing it on another sheet of paper so that you have more room to write. Please have it
completed and ready to turn in on Monday for A Day (11/24/14) or Tuesday for B Day
(11/25/14) when you take your test. You will be rewarded if you do so. 
