AP Lesson Planning and Pacing Guide
This helpful resource extends the teaching support found in the regular Instructor's Resource Manual by providing specific guidelines and teaching notes for the AP* course in U.S. History.

Student Research Companion Web Site
Offering a large selection of primary sources and interactive maps, the Student Research Companion Website is to be used for student assignments. For U.S. History textbooks, approximately 100 maps and close to 1000 primary sources are available. The primary sources include headnotes that provide pertinent background information and questions that students can answer and print or e-mail to their instructors. The maps provide background information and questions like the primary sources, as well as zoom functionality, image layering, and questions that require students to locate and click on a portion of the map to answer.
