I did my CYOA on the Flashcards 2.0. While typing the terms and concepts and their meanings it was good studying. I knew lots of the information already, but it reinforced my knowledge of the concepts. The flashcard maker was relativity easy to make, and I will definitely use them to study for the test on Thursday.
Hi Jake, Did you highlight the handouts that head each section? The locations are on the study guide. For example, # 14-21 are in the CONSTITUTION slideshow packet. #22-24 are in the Electoral College handout from yesterday. The rest are located in War and Peace handout from today.

Thankyou!
Hi Cole, Have you played GO FISH? You don’t need pictures. You can use any materials you have (paper, index cards, etc). It is similar to matching so you do need to have the terms and concepts on one card and the answer on another card just like GO FISH.
Hi Ms. D. I’m about to start my go fish CYOA, but I’m not sure if I’m supposed to use index cards. Also for the responses am I supposed record my responses on a completely different set of cards than the items from the study guide? Lastly I wanted to know if I have to draw pictures on the cards. Please respond when you get the chance. Thankyou!
