America: A Narrative History by Tindall - any study guides, questions, assessments to go along?

[foofoobunny]

I'm considering using this for 10th grade history.  Are there any study guides or assessments that go with it?  Any guides in any form whatsoever???

We used this when my daughter was prepping for the AP.

 

It's a wonderful textbook. We both really liked it. I had also gotten a different (larger) text, and we both preferred the Tindall book.

 

My daughter did the following to prep for APUSH:

 

--Read and outlined

--Made sure to define terms and make notes on people and terms at the end of the chapter

--Kept a running timeline of key events and key people with "soundbites"--short phrases or sentences to sum up the person/event that would be easy to memorize.

--Wrote tons of essays.

--Read/responded to primary source documents roughly 2-3 times per month. 

--Worked through some practice tests and the AP prep materials.

We ordered volume 2 of the brief tenth edition this year. There's a student site that has office hour videos by David Shi and an iMap function. The book itself came with a code that gives the student access to the Inquizitive site for review questions on each chapter. I had thought instructor resources were free once you got permission through Norton for access (they wanted to know if I had teaching certification and if I was using it in a co-op), but after receiving access permission, their staff through email is telling me there's a cost for each one. I suppose it's because I didn't adopt the text for an entire classroom.
