Test Facts:  Test is three pages.  There are three matching sections.  One is People, one is Places, and one is  Everything Else.  There is a short answer/fill in the blank section after that. The next section requires you to identify whether a fact is about Athens, Sparta or both.  This is followed by a section in which you must put the 3 main Greek philosophers in order and give two things each one is famous for.  Questions about Alexander found on the original handout have been removed, because we are going to cover him in a smaller, separate unit.
