World History Vocabulary Quiz Set -500A.D. -1776A.D.-16 Chapter/units of quizzes

This word document contains 16 chapters of World History vocabulary terms which align with the California State Standards for History and most California textbook adoptions. Each chapter focuses on key words and important individuals in societies such as Europe, Japan, China, Mesoamerica, and Africa. Topics covered in European History include the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the early and late Middle Ages, Renaissance, Reformation, Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment.

There are between 12 and 20 terms per unit, depending on the topic.

I like to assign these words and definitions at the beginning of a unit, have the students copy them into their notebook. Then, between a week to a week and a half later, while we progress through the unit, I schedule a vocabulary quiz as a sort of mid unit comprehension check. Students who ace these quizzes are clearly on pace to do well on the unit test and students who fail clearly need extra attention.
