by David Tamm (Author)
Kaplan's, 5-Steps, Crash Course and other review books are great resources for the last month before the exam, but the Tamm's Textbook Tools series of student activity books are an accompaniment all year long. This AP* World History companion is filled with vocab, activities and assignments that follow the Strayer & Nelson Third Edition of Ways of the World for all 23 chapters. The activities in this workbook can be used as regular weekly assignments or reviews. They can be used on short notice if there is a sub, or be assigned as regular homework. All you need is the textbook, physical or online. Teachers can copy at will, and parents can use the book as a student consumable. The rationale for having this workbook is that publishers now put so much of their extra content online, traditional classwork is left lacking. No matter if the textbook itself is written in ink or electrons, many students still find it valuable to write and keep notes for themselves on paper, and portfolios still matter. The activities in this workbook challenge students to apply the concepts, give examples, diagram every chapter, and think things through with the authors.
