Hey CRod,
Just had a couple of questions about the cheat sheet.
1)Where can we find the lit. & summer terms? and
2)We didn't have questions on the Declaration of Ind., the Declaration of Sent. and Resolutions, nor the Adams letters. Would we just write notes on them?
Thanks,
Meli

Don't worry about the D of I, letters and such; it's pretty basic. You should have the lit terms from summer on the index cards you made...or you can look on the handout you printed from summer to do the note cards.

Smile,
