Hi, I'm taking APUSH next school year and I'm looking for a textbook that's both comprehensive and easy to understand. Which ones would you recommend? Thanks in advance!
I would recommend the textbook "The American Pageant" by David M. Kennedy and Lizabeth Cohen. This book has been popular among APUSH students and teachers for many years because it provides a clear and comprehensive overview of American history. The writing style is engaging, making the material more accessible and enjoyable for students.
Another great resource, although not a full textbook, is "AMSCO's United States History: Preparing for the Advanced Placement Examination" by John J. Newman and John M. Schmalbach. This book is specifically designed for APUSH students and focuses on the key concepts you'll need to know for the exam. It includes review questions, practice tests, and content summaries for each chapter, which can be an excellent supplement to your main course textbook. When used in combination with a comprehensive textbook like "The American Pageant," this book can help you solidify your understanding and prepare effectively for the APUSH exam.
Good luck in your APUSH class next year! Don't forget to use additional resources like online videos and practice tests to refine your skills and understanding of the material.
