We do this assignment for each chapter. Make sure you define all of the boldfaced terms and names in the chapter, not just a section. Chapter 13 has 3 sections but some chapters have as many as 5. Always make sure you defined all of the boldfaced terms and names. That is what I am referring to as "vocab". Just a quicker and easier name to say. Also, look through the chapter and answer all of the skillbuilder questions. I explained these two things in class too. There are 3 skillbuilder sets of questions in chapter 13. In class, I looked through the chapter and noticed every time I saw a map, chart, political cartoon or some other graphic that had "skillbuilder" next to or under it. These are 2-3 easy to answer questions every time, but I love these. They really help us understand some important stuff. Always make sure you do them all in the chapter. There are other things called "thinking critically" that are similar that I did not assign. Some chapters just have 1-3, like this one, and other chapters have a lot of these. Remember, when defining key terms and names (vocab) do not just write down what is directly after the boldface. I will expect you to define it accurately and not miss the importance. Sometimes you have to read the several sentences around the boldface to understand the context and definition ultimately. Skillbuilders for Chapter 13 are on pages 411, 415 and 426. Do not miss any of them. I counted 23 boldfaced key terms and names in Chapter 13 as well.
This is the one assignment where I always require students to hand-write. There was way too many examples of academic dishonesty with this assignment last year, so I changed my approach and make students write this.
