Unit Test: Ancient Worlds

Ivory Minoan Bull-Leaper and Bull Head, 1500 B.C.E., from Palace of Knossos

Tuesday will be our first unit test of the year. It will take the form of the AP test, using only actual questions from past AP exams. But worry not, we will go over the format of the questions, what kind of questions are asked and analyze essay questions during the first part of class on Tuesday.

Here are study materials to help you prepare for the test. I've included my own presentation notes (THIS TIME) because of the unfortunate strike circumstances and the brevity and swiftness of our classes this week.

Also, watch this video on the Mycenaeans (it's long, so if you don't have much time, focus on the second half). The video focuses on the archaeology behind the discoveries at  Mycenae facilitated by Heinrich Schliemann.

Lastly, utilize internet resources! Check out this incredibly informative and easy-to-navigate website,SmartHistory. There are lots of great videos and interesting information for review.
