IMPORTANT INTERNET TUTORIAL INFORMATION!


Some of the information on the History Alive Internet Tutorial for Chapter 5 does not match the information on your study guide.
YOUR STUDY GUIDE HAS THE CORRECT INFORMATION! (The Internet Tutorial is wrong.)

The best way to study tonight is to review your study guide and remember everything you learned by becoming an "expert" on your explorer that you did your presentation on.

Remember: Make flashcards to not only earn a bonus point, but also help yourself prepare for tomorrow's test! :)
