You may not use notes on this section of the test

2) Physical and Human Geography of North and South America
You should know information about the following:
-Major physical features (rivers, mountains, lakes--see your packets)
-General information about: population trends, land use, religions, languages, climate/vegetation

For this section of the test you may use one page of notes, front side only.
There will be some questions using the maps in the textbook, and other general questions using the information from the packets.

If I were you, I would go back over the packets and write down some of the information from those pages...also be sure to re-read/take notes on the first page of each packet! Think back to the questions we had in today's review game, these will be examples of the questions you will have on the test. Pay attention to phrases like "world's biggest/longest/most" or similar.

Happy studying! :)
