Students... one of the downsides of google docs is that is doesn’t have spell check. If you find a
typo, please email me at Sarah.Duffer@asheville.k12.nc.us Thanks!
The terms in this color have been pulled from other AP ES textbooks. They are supplemental
and I advise you to study them in addition to these terms.
