HUSH Terms 2024-2025
HUSH TERMS
Remember, Terms are due to your team members at least TWO DAYS prior to a quiz/test! Everyone needs a fair chance to study the terms. If your group is having a problem, please see me ASAP. Terms will be submitted to Google Classroom by one member of your group (the person who initially created the file). Make sure everyone's name is at the top of the document! The document's edit history will be used to determine who worked on the document and to what extent.
Each definition should include a brief description (who or what), when in history and where in location the term is most associated with (e.g. "the mid-17th century in the British colonies"), and how the term is significant to the study of the time period in American history covered by the unit it is associated with (e.g. "a document that established the principle of popular rule in the American colonies").
