1 Review |
The Chapter Review (pp. 40-41) in
your textbook lists all the Key Expectations you have covered
in the chapter and identifies the specific lessons in which the
knowledge and skills have been developed.
You can use the Key Expectations list to help you create a personal
study guide in preparation for an end-of-chapter test:
- Copy down the list of learning expectations from your textbook.
- For each learning expectation, locate the appropriate lesson(s)
in the unit where the expectation was covered. These are identified
in parentheses at the end of each expectation (e.g., 1.2).
- Flip to the appropriate lesson(s) for each expectation and
make study notes of the key ideas or skills you learned.
