Freeman-Pedia

I absolutely LOVE Freeman-Pedia. There is so much for my students to learn and use on the website and they genuinely love the website. It's mostly for AP World History, but some of it can still be used in an on-level class as well. Take a few minutes to peruse the site and tell me what you think about it. What do you think you would find most useful from it? Freeman-Pedia

Shower Curtain Review Project

Image
In an AP class, the review at the end of the year can be brutal! I found this wonderful activity from the WHAP Facebook group I am in and it's amazing. Students must review all six time periods and put it on a shower curtain. Each time period has a map, SPICE chart, diagrams, etc. My students really enjoyed it and felt that they got a lot out of the project. I do this as an end-of-year review project instead of a Final Exam. I'd love to hear your feedback on them! Student Shower Curtain Project Another shower curtain project And another one, they were so excited to share what they had done and what all they had learned. We hung them out on the fences and students were paired together and peer graded one time period on each shower curtain. It was windy!  Fun Fact: Our principal LOVED them and actually borrowed a couple to cover the speakers at graduation!

High Level History

This site is run by one of my colleagues and it has been very helpful to my students. Several of my students went to Amanda's webinar study groups to cram for the AP Exam. When a student is preparing for this exam, I try to give them as many resources as possible to help them in their journey. There has been some criticism from the WHAP Facebook group for Amanda creating webinars and materials and charging for them. Their belief is that we teachers can get a lot of Amanda's materials for free from the Facebook Group. I'm not sure I feel that way and my students certainly can't get to the material. Sometimes I feel that if students aren't understanding the material from me, it's good to hear it from someone else who may explain it differently than I do. How would you feel about this?
