Key Terms for Unit 5 (Ch 16-19)
Students are to identify (Who is this? What is this?) AND briefly detail the significance (Why is this
important?) for the following key terms. Trust me when I say 1 or 2 sentences will not do justice to most these
terms and will adversely impact your grade. Terms must be hand written on notebook paper. Each term
MUST be numbered. Given the number of key terms, students are strongly encouraged to begin working on
these key terms ASAP. This assignment is due on the day of the test, but random spot-checks will be made
during the 6-weeks. This will be recorded in the grade book as a test grade.
