New US History Curriculum Packages with free LIFETIME Updates!

Over the past few years of creating new resources, I added more and more to the point that my Complete US History Curriculum was too big to be hosted online (about 1.6 GB). As a result, I made it available only on a USB flash drive that I would mail out.

However, TpT recently increased their file size limit up to 1 GB. While this still isn't big enough to hold ALL my American History resources, it is big enough to break the curriculum up into 2 halves! 

     

As a result, I created 2 new Complete Curriculum packages for US History! These are: 

US History Part 1

This bundle of over 300 resources covers the Age of Exploration through the Reconstruction Era. There are 10 complete units full of resources: 

• The Age of Exploration 
• The 13 Colonies 
• The American Revolution 
• The Constitution
• Early America 
• The Age of Jackson 
• Manifest Destiny
• Sectionalism & Reform 
• The Civil War
• Reconstruction 

US History Part 2

This bundle covers The Gilded Age to Modern America and includes almost 400 total teaching resources and 9 Complete Units: 

• The Gilded Age 
• Progressives and American Imperialism 
• World War 1 
• The Roaring 20's 
• The Great Depression 
• World War 2 
• The Cold War 
• The Civil Rights Movement 
• Modern America (Unit Bundle Coming Soon)

Both packages also include my popular Daily Warm Up Activities for US History along with amazing resources like:  

• Interactive Notebook Pages
• Digital Google Drive Notebooks
• Project Based Learning
• Primary Source Activities
• Magic Portrait lessons on the Founding Fathers and Civil War Leaders
• Engaging Review Activities

Best of all, these 2 downloads give you free updates for life! Every new resource that I add in the future for US History will get added to these 2 bundles. That means more Google Classroom activities, projects, interactive notebooks, and more! 

These resources are thorough, rigorous, and hyper-engaging. Your students will love your class and you'll finally have time to devote to their needs instead of stressing about planning.

You can download them here:

★ US History Part 1

★ US History Part 2

I promise you you'll love these packages! 

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

New Students of History Complete Curricula by Subscription!

After teaching both World and US History for 12 years, I realized I had developed more than enough engaging resources for every day of the school year. I then worked for months to organize them into a Complete Curriculum for both subjects and made both my World and US History curricula available on USB drives on Teachers Pay Teachers to rave reviews.

The only downsides to these were 1) there was no way to push out updates of new resources I created, and 2) the upfront cost was prohibitive for many teachers.

I've hopefully solved both those issues with my new subscription packages at StudentsofHistory.org!

For the past several weeks, I've been setting up the site to include everything for both subjects and also adding Youtube videos and clips, website resources, and more. They're all perfectly organized by unit and then by day with introductions and directions for each unit.

Here's a quick video preview of how the site looks and how you can access resources on it:

Each curriculum includes a ton of Common Core aligned resources, including daily Warm Ups, interactive digital Google Drive Notebooks, traditional and engaging Interactive Notebook pages, amazing lessons in 3D, sets of fantastic, moving Magic Portraits, and so much more! Plus, I'll be adding new resources all the time and subscribers will get immediate access to them all!

For a more thorough overview, click here for US History Curriculum subscription and here for the World History Curriculum subscription.

PLUS I also set up interactive forums on the site to discuss the resources, share ideas, ask questions, and get to know your fellow history teachers! I'm determined to make this the best online resource for secondary history teachers anywhere!

Please take a look and let me know if you have any questions!
