Choose questions that reveal both content knowledge and reasoning. Use these review questions to plan the next class discussion. [College Board course framework](https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-united-states-history) | Practice focus | When choosing questions | What to review | | --- | --- | --- | | Founding debates and political change | Choose source-based questions about colonial society, independence, or the development of federal institutions. | Does the student explain the source within its historical context, rather than applying today's assumptions? | | Reconstruction and citizenship | Select an available SAQ, DBQ, or LEQ that develops evidence about political or social change. | Does the response distinguish a change in law from its effects on people's lives, with relevant evidence? | | Industrialization and reform | Choose questions that connect economic developments, migration, and reform movements across periods. | Does the explanation show why a development caused a response, or how a pattern continued over time? | These are planning examples. Choose from the questions available in your course's bank. Planning for May 2027? College Board has updated the short-answer and long-essay questions for AP history. Course content hasn't changed. Review the official updates when planning exam practice. [College Board exam planning information](https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-history-exam-updates) ### Look for the link between an event and its historical significance Suppose a Reconstruction response correctly identifies a constitutional amendment. Check what the student does with that evidence next. Does the explanation connect the amendment to citizenship or political participation? Does it address the particular change the question asks about? Naming an amendment helps establish content knowledge, but the response still needs to explain the connection. For a follow-up, choose a bank question that tests the missing reasoning. If the class confuses the historical sequence, revisit the period with a reading and MCQs. If students recall the developments but don't connect them to an argument, use another short writing task. This keeps the next assignment focused without repeating a whole unit assessment. ## Choose and share an assignment Select your course and questions from Fiveable's existing bank. Publish the assignment and share its student link in Google Classroom or another LMS. ## Review and release the grades MCQs score on submission. FRQs receive AI first reads using Fiveable's scoring guidelines. Review the feedback, adjust points, and release grades yourself. ## Use the responses to choose what comes next A student may recall an amendment but need help explaining its significance within Reconstruction. Compare the class's unit and skill insights with the actual writing. Use a shared missed connection for a short discussion, then choose a follow-up question from the bank. ## Keep your course resources together [AP US History study guides](/apush) [AP US History grading details](/apush-ai-grader) [Teacher print center](/printables) [College Board exam description](https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-united-states-history/exam) ## Choose the teacher plan that fits your classroom Continue with Teacher Workspace for $29 per month, or $129 per year with printing.
