"Robert Strayer has found a magical sweetspot between being concise and inclusive, between presenting world history and engaging students, and between originality and comfort. The on-line version has a suite of ancillaries that are very useful to students and teachers alike. I regularly utilized features such as Learning Curve, editable quizzes and test banks, document and historical reading practice and associated space for student response, timeline activities, powerpoints, chapter outlines and more... At the end of the year I surveyed my students on satisfaction and found it paralleled mine. In short, this is a refreshingly engaging pedagogical suite, not "just" a text."
- Edward Walsh, Lancaster High School, NY
"I am impressed with the visual sources and document analysis sections. Those will be so helpful with the redesigned course."
- Paula DSpain, McKinney ISD, TX
"I love the book. Very impressed with its connections to both the content standards as well as the thematic standards."
- Jason Carter, Fairbanks High School, OH
"I like the documents within the book. I had previously been using a separate documents book for primary sources."
- Paul Hoelscher, Clayton Schools, MO
"I LOVE how the book is organized to match the AP® Periodization. This makes the breaks between time periods very clear for me as a teacher and for students as well. The Guided Reading Questions in the margins give students indications of what they should be looking for as they read. These can easily be typed up by a teacher and turned into a Guided Reading handout for students. (Easy way to implement modifications for diverse learners.) AP® Exam Tips are well organized around how students need to connect information and the skills they need for the Exam. Especially the ones pertaining to essay writing. Big Picture Questions at the end of the chapters are well aligned with AP® Themes and requires students to look at the overarching themes. Working with Evidence Sources: It is great that the sources are short and come with effective skills based questions. I also love that Visual Sources are also included."
- Tyronne Shaw, McKinley Technology High School, Washington DC
"Oh my goodness, I’ve been exploring the teacher ancillaries associated with <i>Ways of the World</i>, 4e: SIMPLY AMAZING! I really enjoy the new interface and how the e-book functions as it progresses throughout the chapters. You guys have included so much and the templates are super user-friendly! I am loving this book!"
-Sara C. Anderson, Azle High School, TX
