Collaboration in Constructed Response.....Construction

Hey everyone, 

I was approached by a colleague here at UPHS about gathering a body of APUSH teachers (virtually) interested in creating a bank of constructed responses. The idea is obviously to share the work load in designing new questions & resources for the updated curriculum. With that said I wouldn't want this to be a forum where a wallflower can cherry pick without contributing. Post a comment here or send an email if you are interested to wherring@ncmcs.net. I'll serve as initial organizer until someone else has the time or inclination to take the wheel. 

Shoot this blog far and wide to anyone you think might be interested in joining the network of APUSH teachers. The College Board has the same test everywhere so there is no limit to our potential teacher pool. 

Thanks for reading & I look forward to hearing from you and working with you!

Bill of Rights Institute 

This is a great, great site I found this AM and I wanted to get it out to you before I forgot. If you squint at the image below or follow the link you will see that this resource includes entire lessons and PRE-Built Smart Express Lesson! There are games & links to YouTube videos. I know were all on the Civil War at this point but we all have a lot of review time. Plus we will have a couple of sections I would imagine in the Spring. 

Do me a favor and share this with the Civics crew also. I don't know all the names or emails in the districts.
