The Chapter 8 Test on China is on your BLOCK DAY

We’ve been working really hard and you have been awesome during this chapter.  So, it’s time to show off just how much you have learned!

The Chapter 8 Test will be taken on your Block Day.  To prepare make sure you review all of the worksheets we have completed for this chapter.  Look at the True/False worksheets, the study guides, the fill-in-the-blank activities, and anything else you come across in your binder.

The Test will be 50 questions: 35 multiple-choice and 15 True/False.

One last thing, the answers to the FIRST three questions on the test are: “D,” “B,” A.”  Man, how awesome am I to just give away answers?

Happy History!
