THIRD EDITION
A Thematic Approach to Our Nation's Story for AP* U.S. History
| $25.00 |
Threads of History is a supplemental resource that provides a thematic review of AP U.S. History course content while building essential historical thinking skills.
Each of the 37 lessons focuses on a specific theme in U.S. history and includes a comprehensive data table, primary or secondary source document, multiple-choice questions, short-answer questions, and essential vocab terms—all focused on the specific theme.
- Comprehensive data tables at the heart of each lesson help APUSH students visualize themes so they can practice making connections.
- New lessons on Historical Periods 1 (1491-1600) & 9 (1980-Present) provide coverage of the often-overlooked bookend periods.
- The new key-terms/vocab component enhances students understanding of the complex topics and themes covered in each lesson.
The amount of material you need to cover in AP U.S. History is immense. Use Threads of History throughout the year to reinforce critical thinking skills and extend the topics and themes you covered (or didn't cover) in class. Or use Threads in the weeks leading up to the exam for a higher caliber of test prep.
View the sample lesson for a look at how Threads of History covers the cornerstones of U. S. foreign policy: Isolationism in Europe, the Monroe Doctrine in South America, and the Open Door in Asia.
The Student Edition shown here is designed to be used in class along with the new Teacher Edition, available here.
