Unit 1 Final Exam Study Guide:

Unit 1 Final Exam will be Tuesday, March 4th. The format for the exam is entirely multiple choice. It will consist of 55 multiple choice questions, 60-65% of the questions will be "source-based" questions, while the remainder will be simply knowledge and comprehension style questions. In other words, the source-based questions will use political cartoons, timelines, a chart or diagram, a graph, a reading, a photo or a map, and you will have answer questions related to that source. The source-based questions will be difficult to prepare for. You must have a firm grasp of the concepts and key terms that were introduced in Unit 1, because that will allow you to apply the knowledge that you have to answer the multiple choice questions.
Please study your key terms from Chapters 1-5, and the topics covered in that unit.

I gave you a worksheet that compared fascism and communism. We also watched an A&E Biography Benito Mussolini for the remainder of the class. While watching the video you should have taken notes on the techniques of dictatorship used by Mussolini. Please remember that your Democracy Unit Final is on Friday, February 29th.
