I know a lot of us come to the discussion forum to look for new activities for our classes, but don't forget to check out the articles that OER has posted on each topic. I recently started Unit 6 in AP World History (Imperialism). I ditched the textbook this unit and instead I am having students read and annotate primary and secondary sources. I pulled a TON from OER and my students are loving them! They said they are easier to read and understand compared to the textbook. They're still getting the required info and I'm not having to fight them read it!

I totally agree Katie Raby ! I have not used a textbook in years for my on-level 1750-Present course because the articles cover it all - and better! They have a tone to them that is much more conversational and engaging.
Take this one, for example - Second World War. I am using it this week, and I already know my kids will love the "Grandpa Dan" references
