APUSH Semester 1 Bundle: 4 Complete Digital Units for AP US History

Teach content and skills simultaneously. Save time planning with these comprehensive bundles for the entire first semester of AP United States History! Cover APUSH Period 1 - 5 in a fun, comprehensive and rigorous way. This tried and true curriculum has helped my students consistently achieve a 90+% pass rate on the AP Exam. Detailed teacher guides included for each unit, but you can always email with questions.

This is an "evolving bundle:" Units are currently complete but modifications and additional digital resources and activities will be added as the school year develops. Any updates can be downloaded for FREE by visiting the "My Purchases" page. Semester 2 will be released in July!

All assignments are easily modifiable in Google Slides form and can be printed or assigned digitally through Google Classroom or any other LMS. This feature makes the Unit Bundle great for distance learning or in-person instruction. I also include a PDF version for easy printing. With a wide variety of activities, these lessons will help engage students and guide them to success on the AP Exam.
