For teachers
Use it in your classroom
Everything here is free for classroom use. Share the link with students; there are no accounts or sign-ups.
Ways to use it
- Flipped or catch-up lessons: assign an explainer before class, or send it to students who were absent.
- Bell ringers: project the Question of the Day or the primary source of the week.
- Review days: run the USHC Review Game on a projector, or let students play Hurricane Run, Vocab Match, or Hexagon Review.
- Assessment: Hexagon Review boards print with each student’s written connections.
Built for the SC course
Units follow the 2019 South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Standards for United States History and the Constitution, organized into the same five units, from Foundations of American Republicanism through the Legacy of the Cold War.
The EOC diagnostic and review games mix questions from all five units.
