Here are the final review sheets for both Intro to Law and U.S. History II. I also shared the links to any kahoot games we played for any of these topics. For U.S. I don't have kahoot games for all topics because we did projects for some of them and did not do a review. Kahoot has lots of good public Kahoots so feel free to search those on the topics we did review on, they certainly could prove helpful.
