Remember, the purpose of the test is not to test how much you have memorized. It is designed to test your understanding. In other words, it is not enough to know that Pericles was a ruler in ancient Athens. You need to know that his significance involved bringing more democracy to Athens.
Likewise, it is not important to know that the Greeks won the Persian Wars. You need to understand why the Persian War were important. What did the victory do for the Greeks and, more specifically, to Athens?
Here are some questions you should be able to answer:
1. How did the geography of ancient Greece affect its history?
2. What did the Minoans and Mycenaeans contribute to ancient Greece?
3. What were the differences between Athens and Sparta? How did their views on life affect the way they lived?
4. What does The Odyssey and The Illiad tell us about the beliefs of the ancient Greeks?
5. What is the significance of the "polis?" What did the polis mean to the ancient Greeks?
What were the important characteristics of democracy in Athens? What did it mean in Athens to be a citizen?
6. What is the significance of Alexander the Great?
So, when you go through the vocabulary and people---think about the importance of those terms and how it relates to the unit.
