*REVIEW* APUSH Loop Review All Units

This is a fun, engaging loop-style review activity where students move from question to question based on their answers. It'll drive your students crazy, but will also make them think back on topics that span all the units. This activity is a perfect review right before the AP Exam in May. You can do this as an individual review activity, or let your students group up. I usually say they can get in groups from 1-3 people. This review activity is ready to go, just print it and hang the cards ar

AI Bingo (Great Back to School Activity!)

I love AI, and I know our students do too; so, I want students to be educated on how to use AI for good. I think a lot of times they don't know how to prompt AI to get exactly what they're looking for. And they don't know that AI can help them study (even for AP/IB/AICE Exams!). UPDATE: This activity now includes tasks for AI to complete that show some of its limitations. There is also now a response sheet to print and give to students.This AI Bingo activity introduces students to the practical

Additional biographical information

My store is made-up mostly of supplemental materials and projects because those activities are what I'm most passionate about. My actual front-loading lessons are a conglomeration of shared materials from various places, I'd be afraid to pass it off as my own. But these projects and activities, at least for me, are where the best discussions are had. I hope they work in your classroom and you get a lot of use out of them (and that it makes your life easier in just a little way).
