what would be the best things to study with

Last week all students were given a list of things to study to write on the back of their Anticipation Guide, so be sure to study the Anticipation Guide, as well. It was on a half sheet of paper. You should study all the following: all vocabulary given, know what led to the fall of each culture, the beginning and end of the Trojan War, Section 1 and Section 2 Assessment questions on pp. 155 and 160, who was Homer and what he wrote about.
