“I LOVE how the book is organized to conform to AP® periodization. It makes the pauses between periods very clear for me as a teacher and also for the students. The guided reading questions in the margin give students directions on what to look up as they read. A teacher can easily write them down and turn them into a student guided reading book (An easy way to implement changes for multiple students.) The AP® -Test tips are well organized to show students how to fill in the information and skills they need for the exam Especially those related to writing The review questions at the end of the chapter tie in well with the AP® topics and require by students to look for general topic-based questions. I also love that visual fonts are included too."
