American History Homework

This year I have started doing an alternative to typical high school homework and have had wonderful results. I provide the students with the homework sheet, which includes a rubric, and they come up with the final product. This gives the students the freedom to create meaningful work while I am still able to make sure they are understanding the material. I have posted the links for these assignments. Please feel free to use them. For American History, I have created it with the chapters for Pearson's United States History.
