SOL Doom Approaching Rapidly

We have a dwindling number of class periods left until the SOL! In addition to in-class review, I will be holding review sessions the week of May 17th. I will be available after school on Mon, Wed, Thurs, and Fri from 2:20 to 3:30pm. All students are encouraged to attend. While you should already have a solid base of knowledge going into the test, I am listing several resources which will allow you additional preparation for the SOL.

Primary SOL Tools

• SOL Review Packet

  This packet provides the essential, NEED-TO-KNOW information for the SOL. It is presented in question and answer format and should be used as your primary study aid.

• Ms. Butterfield’s Online World I Flashcards

  Quiz yourself on vocabulary from each era.

• SOL Vocabulary List

  A vocabulary list of terms that you will most likely encounter on the SOL. You should be able to recognize and define these in context. Many of these terms are already on my flashcard site.

• World I Online Self-Tests

  These 10 question self-quizzes review the major points of each era and provide immediate feedback on your results. You should do the practice questions for Chapters 1-15. I suggest that you take each self-test more than once so you can re-quiz yourself on any that you got wrong. I am giving 1 extra credit point for each printed or written results page that you show me (a total of 15 possible points). I will check all of these on Thurs 5/20 and Fri 5/21.

  Directions for the Online Tests

  1. Scroll down to Table of Contents and click on the chapter number of the self-test that you want to take.
  2. Read the chapter summary.
  3. Click on the Self-test link located on the left side bar.

  These 10 question quizzes come directly from your World I textbook. The quizzes give you immediate feedback on the questions you got correct and incorrect. It also provides you with a “look-up page reference” so you can review the information for the questions you got wrong. You should do the quizzes for Chapters 1-18.

  2. Read the chapter overview.
  3. Click on the Self-Check Quizzes link located on the left side bar.

• Review of Global History & Geography

  Excellent review tool that provides clear summaries on a number of topics that we have learned about this year. After you have read the summaries, test your knowledge using the site’s interactive multiple choice questions and jeopardy games (located under each page’s “Practice” link).
