APUSH Work for Break

APUSH Break Work

Your group will be assigned a chapter to read and analyze over the break. As a group you will be responsible to create a way to teach your fellow classmates the information in the chapter. Your instruction should inform your peers about all of the pertinent information in the chapter (ex, the main historical figures, topics covered, major events and impacts.) You must also be sure to link all of the large overarching detains back to any previous classroom learnings. It is very important to show relationships and how the country changes over time. This could be changes in thought pattern (historical thinking), causation (because A happens it leads to B), or historical arguments.

To do this well, your group must create:

  • A one page fact sheet- that covers the major chapter happenings
  • A Bellwork activity that helps to inform about the chapter content and links to the lesson
  • A presentation, video, Prezi, or other media presentation tool that summarizes the main takeaways from the chapter.
  • Design a tool that will help students take notes, organize the information, and learn the content
  • Include any explanation of any important documents, graphics, or media from the chapter
  • Upon return from break, each group must present their chapter to the class.
