Using Word, create a notes worksheet for the class.  Include all of the required terms.  The class will use this as a study sheet in order to prepare for the assessment over this chapter.  Your fill in the blank notes worksheet will include a minimum of 10 facts or vocabulary words.  It will be neat and easy to follow.  (Use minimum of 12-point font.)  You will turn in a blank copy so copies can be made for the class and a key for the teacher.   (Tip:  do your notes worksheet last so that it will follow along with the PowerPoint for easier note taking.)
