APUSH AMSCO 4th Edition 2020 Digital & Print Reading Guides + SAQs - Full Year

This comprehensive Full Year Reading Guide for AMSCO AP United States History is fully editable and can be completed digitally. Covers Periods 1 - 9 for AP US History. Follows the newest AMSCO Edition (2020, 4th Edition) organized around the College Board Key Concepts. Guide students to key terms, events, and trends through these digital or printable worksheets!

Also includes 50 SAQs and general guidelines for writing effective SAQs. Can be used to learn or review for the AP Exam.

TIP: I assign and just check for completion so they students do not have to write everything (this can feel like "busy work"). I check students' reading and hold them accountable with KEY CONCEPT QUIZZES that do count toward their grade.
