Review Questions


What is it?

After reviewing the chapter, you think of possible questions that might be on the test and then review for it by answering them.

Why do it?

This is one of the most effective ways of preparing for a test, particularly an essay test.  It does several things for you:
  • It focuses your attention on the material that's most important to study;
  • It prepares you for reading and understanding the kinds of questions that may appear on the test; and
  • It gives you an opportunity to practice recalling information you will need on the test.

How do you do it?

Begin by reviewing the chapter and the headings.  Then create an essay question that covers particular categories of information in the chapter.  Using an essay plan, try answering it yourself to make sure that you've asked in as clear a way as possible.   Then post it on the forum.

Then read the other questions on the forum and post essay answers to one of them.


Task #24

Create 2 essay questions that you think could appear on the test and post them on the forum.  Post answers to two of the other questions on the forum.
