ENRICHED: 1800s + WWI test corrections

All test corrections are due Friday, 5/20. You must attach a copy of your original test to the corrections to receive credit - no exceptions! If you've lost the original test, you will need to do corrections for the entire test.

Test corrections offer students an opportunity to earn back up to half of the points they missed (excluding the map section) and dramatically improve their grade. Standards for test corrections are very high - "winging it" or rushing isn't enough; I have to see clear evidence that you have invested additional time in understanding the concept tested in order to give you credit.

-**IMPORTANT: If you use an online dictionary or other source, you must put the definition in your own words and cite the source - anything else is plagiarism and will receive no credit. The only sources you should need are the study guide and the reading packets.**

-For each matching question you are correcting, provide a definition in your own words of the key concept listed below as well as either (a) an extended explanation (more detail) of that concept or (b) an example of that concept.
-For each multiple choice question you are correcting, write the correct answer and explain why it is correct.
-For each short answer / essay question you are correcting, rewrite your entire answer after researching the topic.
