Enduring Visions Resources

     Resources, resources, resources! One of the requirements for our chosen history text, was that there would be lots of resources available for the curriculum.  Well, this one certainly fit the need. The fact that many of the resources were free, didn't hurt either. I was able to find a collection of audiovisual, interactive, and printable resources so I figured I'd share to save others some time. Here are the major resources that we will be using throughout the course. I will share more chapter specific resources over the course of the school year.

• Cengage (This site is for Enduring Visions 7th edition. Here you will fine vocabulary, quizzes, and even PowerPoint  presentations. Quizzes and focus questions can be completed online and emailed to the instructor. This was a plus for my son.)
• Cengage Learning (This site is for Enduring Visions 4th edition. The quizzes here are much more detailed and have more questions than the updated version. You can also access PowerPoint presentations here as well.)
• APUSH (One of the requirements for this year was for my son to become proficient in outlining, summarizing, and writing essays. He will need all of these skills in order to pass the CLEP/AP exams should he choose to challenge either. This blog has outlines for all of the chapters and will provide him with a good example of chapter outlines.)
• Mr. Peterson's United States History Classes (This site is full of resources for a standard U.S. history course as well as an AP course.)
• Foldables:

Well, these resources certainly helped us to get our year started. So far, so good.
