The new Applied Practice in Social Studies series was created to provide history teachers with supplemental materials that combine content review with standardized test preparation and formative assessment.  Designed to fit seamlessly into normal daily lesson plans, the series uniquely offers advanced placement test preparation over content specific to each teaching unit.

Each U.S. History workbook in the topical series includes:

  • 80 multiple choice questions that replicate the types of questions found on the AP* U.S. History exam
  • 1 DBQ and 4 free-response questions that replicate the types of questions found on the AP* U.S. History exam
  • Graphic organizers designed to aid students in organizing and analyzing course content
  • A section called "Teaching the DBQ" that includes worksheets and organizational tools to help you teach your students how to extract, organize, and analyze information from documents
  • Teaching activities that can be adapted to a wide variety of USH content
  • Answer keys
  • Detailed answer explanation for each multiple-choice question
  • Detailed information sheets to aid in evaluating each free-response and DBQ question
  • A generic scoring rubric for grading free-response question and document-based essays
  • A free-response peer evaluation form

 
Each guide in the USH topical series contains teaching resources for the document-based and free-response questions (American Speeches contains FRQ resources only.)

While not all of our U.S. History topics will be covered in detail on the AP U.S. History exam, each resource guide is designed to cover a specific unit typically taught in an AP USH course.  By integrating the "applied practice" offered in these resource guides throughout the year as you discuss each topic, you will prepare students for the difficulty level, format and style of questions they will find on the AP* USH exam in May.  Routine practice with Applied Practice materials will help them feel confident and comfortable with the advanced placement standardized test format.

In addition to our topical series, we now have a USH resource guide for American Speeches, a companion to our pre-AP*/AP* ELA-based guide, American Speeches Selections.  Like our USH topical series, this resource guide includes AP*-style MC and FR questions.  A variety of topics are covered in this guide, each relevant to a speech of historical importance in United States History.  This resource guide includes:

  • 90 multiple-choice questions covering nine speeches or their relevant topic - 10 questions per speech
  • 9 free-response questions replicating the types of questions found on the AP* U.S. History exam
  • Graphic organizers designed to aid students in organizing and analyzing course content
  • Teaching activities that can be adapted to a wide variety of USH content
  • Answer keys
  • Detailed answer explanation for each multiple-choice question
  • Detailed information sheets to aid in evaluating each free-response question
  • A generic scoring rubric for grading free-response essays
  • A free-response peer evaluation form
