Be sure to focus on the three elements essential for doing well on each identification on the midterms and final examinations. Identifications should also serve as your examples for essay questions. Learning the historical significance first is key.
1) when? (within a decade--1 point) 2) the facts? (generally 1-2 sentences---keep this section brief--1 point) 3) historical significance? (What does this event represent that helps us to understand the times?--3 points)
