Hi there! These are fantastic! Thank you so much! I have been directing people to your site too. 🙂
Thank you very much. I appreciate your support.
thanks man
XD
There are awesome! Will you be including videos for the other key concepts in APUSH?
Yes, I will have all the key concepts for each time period, as well as many of the topics specifically mentioned. Furthermore, I hope to have videos for the themes as well before the exam in May.
Shout out Mrs. Burch’s block 1 APUSH class from Nansemond River High school in Suffolk Virginia
Are you still planning to ever do the themes? I’d really like to see your take on how to best interpret them for scholars.
Yes, I will have them up by the end of this year. I’ll be doing it in in-class review leading up to the exam.
I am a first year AP teacher and I was just looking for some help and guidance for APUSH this year. Man what you are doing here is awesome stuff and is really going to help me bring the best out in the kids with their ability to review this!
Thank you.
I’m really happy to help out. I will have more videos out next week and throughout the school year, so please check back often. Good luck, I hope you like teaching APUSH. It’s the most fun I’ve ever had teaching.
Thank you! This is great work. As a 2nd year AP teacher with 2 other preps, this was a lifesaver!
I’m happy to help out. Best of luck to you and your students this year.
I literally suck at history, yet your power-points help me retain all of the pertinent information, and they’re quite easy and fun to read.
Thank you for putting these together! Keep up the great work of saving AP students’ lives from distress!
Thanks for the kind words. I’m really glad the videos are helpful. Good luck!
I was just looking for a way to review before my period 1 exam tomorrow and I am so, so glad I stumbled upon these! They definitely reiterated the more important points and I feel much more confident now 🙂 Thank you so much for making these!
You’re welcome. Good luck on your quiz. Thanks for watching.
Hey Mr. Norris, thanks for the great work! A heads up that the video posted under 1.1 on this page appears to be 1.3.
My students will be enjoying your videos this year!
Have fun,
Dan Hackett
Thanks for using my website, I really appreciate it. Another teacher mentioned about the video being different. On my end it’s correct, so I’ll try to figure it out. Good luck!
Thank you so much for these! I have my first APUSH test over periods 1 & 2/Chapters 1-5 coming up…this is really helping me in my preparation for this!
That’s great to hear. Good luck on your test!
I’m in APUSH and I basically cry like everyday because of it. I’m struggling
Will you be releasing periods 6-8?
Yes, I’m recording 6.1 today. More to come after that.
WOW!! this is helping me a lot to prepare for my final tomorrow! thank you so much!
Loved these videos. I have my APUSH final tomorow from periods 1-5. This helped alot, thank you!!!!
I hope you did well. Thanks for watching.
These really helped me study for my final tomorrow 🙂 Thank you so much!! I’ve showed your site to a bunch of my friends and they’ve also said that your videos are super helpful!
Thanks for spreading the word. I hope you did great on your final!
The videos are really awesome and they’re great to watch for review! I’ve covered until Period 6 at school so I’ve been looking for some videos to help me remember some of the stuff and these are super (: I’m looking forward to working on the American Pageant videos as well. Thank you so much and I will make sure to tell the rest of my APUSH class about these videos once school starts again! Merry Christmas!
I am a Chinese student, I want to attend the AP U.S. history examination, thank you for your effective works and extinct useful videos and ppts .
Thank you for your support. Best of luck to you!
Hey, your videos are super helpful as I have a final on periods 1-6 tomorrow and honestly I was super scared but I just played your videos, relaxed, and I actually retained quite a bit of information! Please continue these videos! Youre doing Gods work my friend!
Thanks for watching. I hope you did well on your test!
Your videos and fill in the blank outlines are amazing. Your youtube videos on the chapters have helped me throughout the school year, and I will continue to use this website to study in may. Thanks so much, keep doing what you are doing!
Thank you so much for the videos. My students love the simplicity of them for review. Keep up the work you are doing, it is greatly appreciated!!!
I concern with all of the other subscribers. I just found this site last week. It is simply amazing. Thank you so much
You’re welcome. Thanks for your support!
U WOT M8
I’m guessing most of the stuff here is relevant to the SAT US History?
Thank you so much for your help – you are a STAR! I presume you have seen the new APUSH course description and new key concepts. Will you be adapting? It’s such a lot of work though!
I am not updating the key concept videos since the content is pretty much the same. I will, however, clarify the wording with my students and make sure to use the updated version in future videos. Good luck this year!
Hey Adam,
Thanks again for all the hard work you have done. Will you be making significant changes to the videos and their guides?
Hi Erika, I have redone periods 1 and 2 and will do more soon. Thanks!
Mr. Norris,
YOU are my HERO!! My students LOVE your videos! You are great help to me, I am teaching APUSH in a school on 7 period days/50 minutes. I was stressing trying to get videos completed prior to school starting and found your material. THANK YOU so much for being willing to share your lessons!! Continue to be AWESOME- Ms. P Douglas
Hi Ms. Douglas, thanks for the kind words. I will have period 3 out soon and the rest will follow soon. Thanks for your support, good luck to you and your students.
Thanks for the help adam! you’re amazing!
Thanks for watching. Good luck this year.
i just dropped this class for second semester, but i found this website while studying for finals today. i wish i wouldve found this sooner, this wouldve been so so helpful and i wouldnt have dropped the class. these videos are wonderful. thank you.
You must be a saint because I don’t understand how you can spend so much time making videos and teaching students who aren’t even a part of your life!!! Are you getting paid for this at all? Can I send you an edible arrangement or something?? Honestly thank you so so much. Just know that you made a huge difference for me and even made me appreciate history a little bit 🙂 God bless!
These videos have helped me immensely! Thank you so much!
thank youuuuuuuu thank youuuuuuuu thank youuuuuuuu thank youuuuuuuuu thank youuuuuuuuuu thank youuuuuuuuuu thank yooouooouuuuuuuuuuu thank youuuuuuuuu thaaaaaaaannnnkkkk youuuuuuuuuuuuuu! 🙂
I have a midterm tomorrow over a majority of the APush curriculum and I couldn’t be happier that I’ve found these videos! They have all the key points that I know I need to remember and it definitely takes a major load off of my back when it comes to trying to find ways to study. Thank you so much, Adam, you’re a lifesaver!
you’ve been saving me for these past years in history and bless you for making these review videos. hopefully i get a 4 or a 5 in a few weeks!!! 🙂
Thank you so much! This is such a great way to study without having to spend the money on the review book.
You have been so helpful throughout the entire year! Thank you so much for your videos ad review sources! I’m hoping all goes well for the AP exam next week . Thanks again!
Hi, Thank you so much for your video.
Since ” How did natives adapt to their environment?” is an important question, can you give us an sample answer to this question. Furthermore, can you give us an example of the MC that ask something about they way natives adapt to their environment?
Thank you so much
Hello I found these worksheets and videos extremely helpful to my students, im just wondering if there is an answer sheet for the fill in blanks worksheets because i need TAs to correct the students notes and im not so comfortable for them to go on my computer and correct from the powerpoint, i want to have a print out answer sheet, if you do can you please send to my email abc45182400@gmail.com (the key concept and the review notes from chapter 1 to 29). Thank you very much.
Unfortunately, I do not have keys, just the PowerPoints.
When will you post the slides for 1.3 on here? Great videos!
The revised curriculum does not have a 1.3 – only 1.1 and 1.2.
this website is going to be a lifesaver this year! keep up the amazing work this is awesome! thank you so so much!
You’re welcome. Thanks for visiting.
Hello. I’m finding these videos very helpful. I’m just wondering what you think is another good way to learn the content and stay on top of the material.
I’m finding my textbook to contain too much material that seems irrelevant. (Last year, I literally read about 4/5 of my AP Euro book and ended up getting a 4 on my exam because it was too overwhelming)
And one more thing. Do you think I should worry much about learning all the specific details or stick to the trends, wars, and other main things? Thanks
Hello! I just wanted to say these videos are amazing for helping me fill out my course framework the night before it’s due… oops 😛 But seriously this site is great and thank you so much for doing all of this, it’s going to be a great help this year!
Thanks for your support. Good luck this year!
Just studying for my first APUSH test coming up! This website is lots of help already; I can see myself coming back for the rest of the year! Thank you so much!
I really am liking this website so far, but I really need some help. The site wont let me set up a password. It keeps telling me that the link in invalid. I would really like to take advantage of all you have to offer so if there is any way of figuring out that would be wonderful!!
Check your email, you should be all set.
Hey, thank you so much for putting together these videos!! I have AD/HD and just plain reading to myself often times doesn’t work for studying. I have found that the Khan Academy videos helped me in my other subjects in school but there was never one for history! I felt stuck and like I wasn’t able to learn anything until my APUSH teacher had showed us these videos( Shout out to Mr.Doyle from Evergreen Highschool, Vancouver, Wa) I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time out of your life to help so many others like myself that enjoy History but could never understand it just by reading.
I wanted to give a shout out to my all time favorite teacher Ms. Hicks, she is the sweetest most helpful teacher I have ever had and I just wanted to show how much I appreciate all the works she puts in to help her students pass. THANK YOU Ms. Hicks YOU ARE THE BEST!
Shout-out to my main mans Mr. Hains who keeps APUSH real @ Nyack
awesome video! loved it!
This was so helpful!
My class and history teacher loves your videos! Please shout out to Dr. Pointer and his classes!
Thanks for the support!
My APUSH teacher told our class about this website and holy cow has it saved my life. Thank you so much for creating this! It helps so much! Ursuline Academy’s Ms. Bowman’s APUSH class thanks you immensely!
Thank you for all of your review videos! They help me make sense of each topic and they are my crutch in this year’s APUSH class!
You are the best. You are the reason I’m finna cop this 5 on the exam tomorrow.
Lmao facts Adam Norris please respond to this you are the best
You are amazing!!! I love how you explain the concepts into simpler terms.
SHOUTOUT TO MRS.BETZ CLASS QUINCY ILLINOIS LOL

Hello, Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of this hard work. The guided notes & ppts/videos have helped tremendously with the redesign and with accommodating IEPs for the students put in to my AP courses. I appreciate you & all you do.
Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it. Best of luck to you and your students!
