You will have to sign up to use the following website: www.Quizlet.com.

Quizlet.com is a website that allows you to study and memorize key vocabulary terms and people from the readings. Vocabulary is one key to being successful in passing the AP Government and Politics exam. There are a few ways to study/memorize chapter terms and that is the main reason I chose for us to use this site.

You will need to keep on top of the vocabulary for the course all the way to the very end. All vocabulary terms are fair game on all quizzes and tests after they have been introduced. For example, chapter 2 vocab terms can appear on chapter 5 test/quizzes.

Register on Quizlet.com right away. You can review vocabulary without registering but you will not receive credit for doing so unless I clearly see you have logged in and reviewed.

Choose a username that easily identifies you.

The following link has a list of Chapter 1 vocabulary. Study and study often.
