What are your must use resources for Unit 5?

I love this video on the Haitian revolution since students really don't know much about it. It also does a nice job of talking about repercussions after the revolution. It's really easy to then tie in some of the political turmoil that Haiti is going through today. https://www.oerproject.com/OER-Materials/OER-Media/Videos/AP-World-History/Unit5/The-Haitian-Revolution?Id=3034&share=link

Hi Melissa Nowotarski Love that video!  One of my favorites for Unit 5 (besides the Urban Game!!)  is a "Photo Essay" unit review activity.  It has the students working together and collaborating (a bit) but has a fairly easy to score result that they can return to for studying for the AP test itself. It can also turn into a teachable moment, as students forget to cite the photos! 

The videos and the source packet are some of my students' favorites. For the Industrial Revolution, I supplement the materials with a case study activity where students split up into three groups and read/answer the questions from three different perspectives: Williamina, a teenage factory worker; Mr. Tullington, a Factory Worker in Manchester, and Queen Victoria. The students then teach back their cases to the class. I never have time to also do this activity in my WHAP classes, but I also use this World's Fair Activity as well. Case Studies can be labor intensive to create, but I find that they have a really positive influence on students' retention, and they are fun! Has anyone else had success with Case Studies?

Interesting World's Fair idea.  I do a Shark Tank idea with inventions of the Industrial Revolution and their connection to today.  It's a similar idea, but I like the connections of the 1851 World's Fair.

Very interesting idea Janet.  I like the idea that's for review.  I need to figure out more incorporation of visuals into my class and this might be it.  I like the idea that its a review activity.  Maybe I could do something with preselecting photos and have students then tie them to the learning objective they think best shows up in that photo.

I know it's not the most exciting response, but I'm a big fan of the Unit 5 DBQ! The document set works nicely to help students practice comparison. With my pacing, that tends to fall around state testing and some school activities that make attendance hit and miss. However, this document set is really workable for students to do with a fair amount of autonomy. It helps build their confidence as writers!

I am in Day 2 of  Unit 5 today and used the Enlightenment quotes after Friday's lecture.  The students were super engaged and did a great job.  Additionally, the Nationalism video does a very thorough job of explaining nationalism and nation state. I didnt use these resources last year, but they will be in rotation from here on out!

Janet Mann good call on the Nationalism video! I really like how Bennett Sherry uses the Olympics to make the idea of nationalism feel accessible to students. Did that spark any connections to the World Cup in your class?

Anne Koschmider It sparked connections to the World Cup for sure! It was also interesting to show the various country's World Cup teams line ups while I was teaching Unit 4. I was able to connect the diversity to maritime exploration and colonization!  The Dutch was a great line up to use!  I use segments of the London Olympic Opening Ceremony for Industrialization, speaking of Olympics! 

Good call, Janet Mann - the clip from the London opening ceremonies is a fantastic unit opener. 

Maybe the International Olympic Committee will be kind enough to give us a nice clip on the French Revolution when the games are in Paris in 2024
