American Pageant Textbook Site

  • An incredible site to be used with your textbook.  The site includes interactive glossaries, note cards, and (most importantly), SAMPLE QUIZZES to use when studying for your Reading Quizzes.

American Pageant  LecturePoint: Online Lectures

  • The LecutrePoint lectures have narrated lectures that are correlated to the book's content.  May be a helpful way to review chapter content prior to a quiz, or to review for a Unit Exam.

U.S. Quiz Mainpage

  • USE THIS SITE TO STUDY FOR UNIT TESTS! Site from Ms. Pojer, an APUSH teacher in New York.  Provides excellent quizzes on each period of U.S. History that are quite helpful in preparing for unit exams.

Kennedy Chapter Outlines

  • Provides blank outlines of each chapter in The American Pageant that may help you gather information as you read.  NOTE: These outlines are for an older edition of the textbook; some chapters have been eliminated from the edition we use and, thus, will not be found on this website.

GREAT AP U.S. History "Timeline" Sites:
