HWC Day 52 - East Asia Test

*Quarter 2 PDP, PDC, & SJS assignments have been completed.  Please check the spreadsheet for your assignments.

Objective:  Assess knowledge and understanding of the geography, history, culture, and contemporary issues of East Asia.

Task:  After a quick review of homework and due dates, I'll distribute your unit 3 test.  As you take the test, please read each question carefully and select the best possible answer.  If you are unsure of the answer, try to eliminate one or two choices.  Don't spend too much time on any single question - its likely you may find clues to help you figure out the answer later in the test.  For the short answer questions, make sure that you fully answer the question with relevant details to show your understanding.  Finally, before handing in your test, be sure to double check your work.

You'll have the duration of the period to complete the exam.  If you need more time, you may come during period 12 TODAY to complete the short answer questions.  However, the objective portion of the exam must be completed in class.
