Vocabulary

One of the most important aspects of this class will be the acquisition of key vocabulary terms. Understanding each and every one of these words within the context of United States Government is absolutely critical if you want to master the High School Assessment. In order to help ensure that you have every opportunity possible to reaffirm your understanding of these words, I have created a quiz for every unit, and linked the major vocabulary words to websites, or articles, that utilize and define them.

In order to access the vocabulary quizzes for a particular unit, click on the unit title. For example, you can click on 'Unit 1: Political and Economic Structures' and it will take you to the quiz for that specific unit. If you are having a hard time remembering what a word means, such as totalitarian, you can click that work in order to access an article or website that will help you understand it better.
