As a group, look back through chapters 22-24 (remember you should have marked things) and make a list of important people, events, and terms that you believe you should know (things that you believe will prepare you for the future, make you a more well rounded or interesting person, things that you'd just like to know). You should have at least seven people and events. Note - you will present these to class on Wednesday.
