Our main textbook: Strayer's Ways of the World
AMSCO Textbook PDF
Another good textbook: Bulliet's The Earth and Its Peoples
Just FYI, Textbooks are GREAT because professional historians have pulled out the really important stuff already, so you don't have to read the whole internet and try to figure out what matters. The AMSCO textbook was written to SPECIFICALLY match the Acorn Packet! So that is super helpful!

For the Summer Assignment, World History Encyclopedia is really helpful. I used it for my SPICE chart sample. It's like Wikipedia except created and review by experts like Oxford University, etc.
Freemanpedia has SO MUCH helpful information! Thank you to Mr. Freeman for the hours and hours and hours of work he has done to create this site that helps WHAP students around the globe! Mr. Freeman does actually exist–he is a real WHAP teacher and here’s a picture of me with him at the AP World History grading in 2015. If you think his website is helpful, please DONATE here so he doesn’t have to do all the work AND pay for it too!
Mr. Freeman also has his own Annotated Notes for a wide variety of WHAP-related topics. These are available for sale on his store. Please learn the rules of copyright and plagiarism and do not steal his intellectual property. His kids need a college fund, after all! Accepting stolen intellectual property is also wrong. Check out the OWL at Purdue for more info on this!

o MANY WHAP (sometimes APWH is used instead but it doesn’t spell a word) teachers have resources and even video lectures on their websites. They may not match exactly with what we’re doing, but they’ll be pretty close.
