Look Inside Look Inside America's History for the AP® Course by Rebecca Edwards; Eric Hinderaker; Robert O. Self; James A. Henretta - Tenth Edition, 2021 from Macmillan Student Store

A comprehensive history featuring AP® skills and practice

Using BFW’s highly touted LaunchPad to deliver superior content online, this comprehensive APUSH® text is known for its attention to AP® themes and content in a nine-part structure that closely aligns with the chronology of the APUSH® course. America’s History, often known simply as Henretta, takes deep dives into historical events and contexts, while examining why and how history unfolded as it did. Henretta boasts a wealth of supporting resources and gives teachers and students the tools they need to master the course and achieve success on the AP® exam.

Features

The big picture, analytical focus helps students understand not just what happened, but why. With its hallmark interpretive voice and thoughtful analysis, Henretta helps students make sense of the contextual and causal relationships between events.

NEW! Chapter timelines ground students in the context of the material in order to better grasp causation.

NEW! Running glossary provides students with academic and historical definitions at point of use to ensure complete comprehension of the material.

NEW! Visual activities guide students to analyze an image in-depth in every chapter to better understand visual texts on the AP® Exam.

NEW! Mapping the Past helps students unpack the information in a major map in every chapter.

The text’s nine-part framework closely aligns to the AP® units and highlights key developments throughout history.

A comprehensive document program offers students practice in document analysis. Four types of primary and secondary source features offer many opportunities for working with historical evidence and prepare students for the SAQs and DBQ:

  • AP® Firsthand Accounts, a two-page feature in each chapter, helps students learn to think critically by comparing primary source texts written or spoken from two or more perspectives.
  • AP® Comparing Interpretations brings historical argumentation directly into each chapter, helping students understand how to work with secondary sources.
  • AP® America in the World uses primary sources and data to situate U.S. history in a global context, while giving students practice in comparison and data analysis.
  • An AP® Thinking Like a Historian feature in every chapter includes five to eight brief primary sources organized around a central theme, followed by questions for analysis, and a practice DBQ prompt. It’s like a mini-DBQ in each chapter.
