Important Midterm Exam Information:
The midterm exam dates for Honors World History are Tuesday (12/14) and Friday (12/17). Per school policy, this exam will account for 20% of students' semester grade - a permanent grade that appears on transcripts and official GPA calculations.
The World History midterm exam will cover all of the units we have studied so far: prehistory, early civilizations, the five major world religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam), ancient Greece, the Roman Republic and Roman Empire, ancient and medieval China, and the Byzantine Empire.
On Monday and Tuesday in class, I provided (or will provide) students with two important study materials for the World History midterm:
1.) "Midterm Study Guide" - the first three pages of this are newer material on Islam and the Byzantine Empire. The remainder of the packet is a compilation of quiz/test study guides that were handed out earlier in the semester. Every topic tested on the exam will be in this packet somewhere.
2.) "Optional Midterm Practice Tests" - this packet is a compilation of all of the tests and quizzes we have taken in class so far. Students are welcome to work through this packet as a workbook in order to refresh their memories, get extra practice, and identify potential trouble spots.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Mr. M
