fAPUSH – Term List

Directions: Approximately every 2-3 weeks, students are given a term quiz of 15 words. The first term quiz is only on the first 15 words, but as the year progresses, the quizzes become cumulative, helping students remember all the terms by the end of the year. You will thank me for this at the end of the year!
