General outline form is to be used.  Outlining allows one to quickly see the headings, subheadings, etc so that information can be easily placed in context.  This and related pictures (with explanations) should take up about 1-2 pages.  The outline should cover all major topics/steps in that unit and include the major points for each of those topics/steps.

In addition to your review sheet, you must also write or select 10 multiple choice questions on your topic.  Each question should have A-E answers.
