Influential People (rulers, educators, popes, reformers, revolutionaries, if it mentions them in the book they’re more than likely notable, no Individuals in Society)

Quiz (about 20 questions)

Things to avoid:
·	Being too narrow, try to get things that will appear on the AP test, not the chapter test
·	Influential writers aren’t people who wrote a paragraph on what was happening at the time, they are people who wrote books that some college would make you read or something
·	Remember that this is a packet that we’ll be coming back to in April.  Don’t make it some long, boring research paper, make it something that you’ll be able to look through and review quickly.
