Reviews"The structure of this book will be so much easier for new teachers of APUSH to work with. I teach an introductory APSI to our new APUSH teachers. Repeatedly, I hear how overwhelming the course is. It is difficult for them to integrate all the content with the skills necessary for the course. Often the skills get pushed to the end and they try to teach them as they review for the AP exam. This is an excellent resource that will enable them to learn to teach the course effectively." - Rhonda Rush, Homewood HS, AL "The modular structure is an idea well overdue.... [T]he traditional narrative American history book is overwhelming to most high school students. Teachers new to teaching AP also are intimidated by the content and skills they are expected to teach. This modular approach will help students and teachers alike by helping prioritize historical content while focusing on building skills." - Becky Berry, Morgantown HS, WV "The book's greatest strength is the way that it provides scaffolding for students. The introduction of historical thinking skills and repetition [of writing tasks] with increasing difficulty will help students master the historical thinking skills in a way that encourages growth.... I would absolutely recommend that version of this book, especially because of the way that the skill-building features build upon the previous features." - Carlene Baurichter, Blair-Taylor Middle-High School, WI "There are several selling points to this book. First, the content is not too in depth. But it provides core examples for the students to use in their analysis, writing and thinking. Also, the scaling of the skills allows for students to access the higher levels of the class without being overwhelmed from the start." - James Zucker, Loyola HS, CA

SynopsisIn 2014, College Board rolled out a new AP(R) U.S. History course, which centered less on memorizing content and more on developing skills. Since then, the course has been modified here and there, but very little has changed in AP(R) textbooks--content is still king. Until now. Fabric of a Nation is the first book to truly embrace this dramatic shift in the AP(R) course and in how history is taught. Built from the ground up by long-time AP(R) leaders Jason Stacy and Matthew Ellington, this book offers a new approach to AP(R) US History by seamlessly integrating: A brief historical narrative AP(R) skills practice Primary source documents Exact alignment to the AP(R) course Now, that's revolutionary, In 2014, College Board rolled out a new AP® U.S. History course, which centered less on memorizing content and more on developing skills.
