Does APUSH instruction get you down? At Mano Koa Enterprises, we say teaching APUSH is "A'ole Pilikia" (No Problem in Hawaiian). Say goodbye to a semester of straight lecturing by giving your students an entire curriculum of hands-on completely interactive lessons.
Check out the Full APUSH Year Curriculum which includes the Semester 1 and 2 Bundles
In this award winning (2021 Gilder Lehrman Oregon History Teacher of the Year) product, every AP US History lesson is designed with the following three cutting edge pedagogical principles:
-
Storifying The Past: Designing narratives with multiple perspectives to which students can take agency and contribute to building classroom community.
-
Gamifying The Past: Students are given multiple opportunities to reason out variables from the past through scavenger hunt contests, review games, and tabletop strategy games in which historical events and factors become levels and variables for students to reason out.
-
Socializing Knowledge: Students have constant opportunities to build connections with content and skills. At the end of the year, students are transformed into experts on their craft/content culminating in an opportunity for them to share their knowledge with the general public.
