An Introduction to APUSH

Started

In this course, I will be going over all the different types of questions and essays you will encounter on the AP United States History exam. I will go over how I recommend you tackle each problem and do some practice. EDIT: I will be entertaining the idea of possibly reviewing the big themes across all the periods in APUSH. These sessions are TBD, not yet scheduled. The final decision will be made Mid-July.

AP World Summer Prep

3rd session

I received a 5 on the 2023 AP World History exam, so you're in good hands! Each session we will cover a variety of topics, from the formatting of the exam to important essay tips for the SAQs, LEQs, and DBQs. If you are unfamiliar with any of those, do not fear! We will go over ALL OF THEM! :D This class is usually one of the first AP classes the average high schooler takes. While it may seem daunting at first, I can assure you that the key to consistently doing well on practice exams is often formulaic, and is not as complicated as it seems. My ultimate goal is for you to at least walk away with some of the tools you need to excel during your first few months of class. I look forward to meeting you all. MEETINGS EVERY SATURDAY

APUSH study group

2nd session

I have taken the APUSH Exam this year and have got a 5. I believe that APUSH doesn't require knowledge of the material, but also complex analyzing and synthesis skills that I want to teach the students. I also want to introduce students to fun ways of memorizing APUSH material. This series is not limited to just APUSH students, it's open to anyone who has an interest and wants to learn!

Who is Friday named after? Why is October the tenth month yet "octo" means eight? Why is the rat the first Chinese year and the cat is not on the list?

We will cover the first 3 Units of APUSH going from the pre-colonial period to the American Revolution and the formation of the early republic.
