Curriculum
Every unit teaches required course content and gives students practice in exam-style reading in the same lesson. Students also practice high-level reading comprehension: close reading of complex informational and primary-source text, using evidence, making inferences, considering the author's purpose, and determining vocabulary in context. Buy buttons go to the live Teachers Pay Teachers listing for that resource. A purchase covers one teacher's own classroom; additional teachers need a license. This is social studies curriculum. The live units now cover history and AP U.S. Government. Geography, economics, and more civics are coming.
