This class can be used as a stand-alone class to cover the content portion of AP US History or it works great as a supplement to an AP US History course in school, especially those in which the teachers are asking the students to read and learn content outside of the classroom. Weekly Breakdown of Content and Skills Covered can be found in the course syllabus. Incorporated each lesson is both a thematic approach: how the content fits into the themes of history. Students will also receive instruction in the use of historical thinking skills and reasoning processes: contextualization, cause/effect, compare/contrast, change and continuity, and chronology. Each lesson, students will be provided with a teacher-made video (approximately 20-30 minutes long), covering the content. They will be asked to read supplemental material, answer practice multiple-choice questions, and write answers to short-answer questions.
