14. Honors Vocabulary vocabulary quiz with each chapter quiz.
World History is a reading and writing based course at all levels - the Common Core standards as stated on the syllabus are reading and writing standards. 
A large part of both reading an writing are a developed vocabulary.
evaluate the words based on the sections in which they appear.
with definition at the beginning of each section
biggest mistakes a student can make with studying vocabulary is to study it "in a vacuum" without any context to place them in. 
therefore it is best to study the section's Terms to Know as we are reading and studying that section
Words often have a very simple base definition but then have more subtle yet necessary particular definitions based on the context in which is it used
A well utilized vocabulary is not something commonly valued in today's world, either, which makes learning vocabulary difficult for even the most willing student
This is why teachers of any subject encourage students to use classroom vocabulary in everyday life as often as possible

19. Caste system may play key role in fatal fire case
Associated Press - January 2, :44 PM ET
OAK FOREST, Ill. (AP) - India's caste system will likely play a key role in the prosecution of a suburban Chicago man charged with setting a fire that killed three family members.
Authorities say Subhash Chander of Oak Forest said he was angry his daughter -- Monika Rani -- had married Rajesh Kumar because Kumar belonged to a lower caste in Chander's native India. Rani, Kumar and the couple's 3-year-old son died in the fire.
The caste system was outlawed in India 60 years ago but it remains a strong force in India and even among some recent immigrants to the United States.
They say it can be humiliating for a father whose daughter has married someone in a lower class.
Prosecutors say Chander claims he got into an argument Saturday night with Kumar and then set the fire with a lighter.

33. Explain how the ancient Aryans are a civilization even though they did not have a writing system.
Even though the Aryans did not have a writing system they were still a civilization. Even without a writing system, they still had literature with the Vedas. The Vedas were a collection of hymns, prayers, and poetry that documented their culture and religion. Religion is another key factor for a civilization seen with the Aryans. Though historians do not know much about their religion they did leave behind many figures of gods and goddesses. Aryans also had social classes. The caste system is the Aryan class system that divided the people and told them what jobs they had. This also shows the Aryans had job specialization necessary to be a civilization. Advanced technology can be seen in the chariots the Aryans used and the weapons and figurines they created. For all these reasons, the Aryans had many characteristic that qualified their society as a civilization even without a writing system.
