about Threads of History

by Mike Henry, PhD

for AP* U.S. History

"I used Threads last year as my primary in-class review text. What I like about Threads is it's cross-period thematic focus. It helps students make broader connections with the historical developments. The Teacher's Edition contains great essay resources, too. Well worth looking into!"

by Tony Maccarella

for AP* European History

"Mastering the Essay has been a great addition to my class. Most of my students are sophomores, so they are not familiar with the writing process expected by the College Board. Using this resource, I am able to guide my students through the stages of writing successful SAQs, LEQs and DBQs.
