If you are Honors, the most important resource is your text website. If you are AP US, the most important resource on this page is the American Pageant student site. Use this site often and it will save you a lot of time and pain. There are practice quizzes, terms and definitions, information outlines and much more. I have also placed other textbook links here. If, for some reason you aren't able to understand any of the information in your text, try these others out. Another important site is the writing guide from Bowdoin College. There are few better writing guides for history students than this one. As we consider topics for research projects, browse through these other sites. There are a vast number of primary sources out there of every kind - audio, document, cartoons, and videos. You name it, it's out there. If you are stumped on a research topic, browse them and you'll definitely find something that fires your imagination.
