Course Description

In this course, students engage in an in-depth examination of America’s history from the Reconstruction era to the modern day. Students will gain a sophisticated understanding of America’s history through detailed, informative video lectures that tie the historical content to larger concepts and themes. Students will also deepen their understanding of U.S. History through analyzing historical sources, developing historical arguments, and identifying patterns of continuity and change.

While this is an introductory, college-level course, students will be scaffolded with several organizational aids. This course has been recently updated to align with significant changes in the College Board’s AP U.S. History curriculum and exam format.This is part two of a two-part course. Together, these courses prepare students to take the AP U.S. History exam if they so choose.

  • 4 Units
  • Organizational tools for each unit and each lesson
  • A check for understanding at the end of each lesson

Course Goals

By taking this course, students will have a deeper understanding of America's history and its relationship to the modern-day. Students will gain important analytical skills and the ability to use various sources to develop strong, original arguments. Upon completion of both Parts 1 and 2 of this course, students will be prepared to take the AP U.S History Exam in May.

 

Target Audience

This video course is primarily intended for high-school students who have an interest in history and advanced skills in reading and writing.

I hope this course inspires this same appreciation for history in others.
