My brother currently had a review for a test in class. The teacher is Miss Mattox and she teachers 7th grade Civics. She's a fairly new teacher, well she started teaching after I took Civics with my fave Civics teacher Mrs. Osbourne. So, this is the test..and I think we all can learn something from it...like to read and follow ALL directions. Lol Enjoy!!
