The twenty-four P7 ‘review tables’ appearing below were created in late February, using ChatGPT and drawing from the language of the APUSH Course and Exam Description. I plan to present these tables to my students in the weeks leading up to the exam. At the same time, I will provide my students with similarly formatted reviews for Periods 6, 8, and 9.

Two APUSH teacher colleagues and I have reviewed the tables for accuracy and concluded they are good to go. However, if you identify any errors and wish to let us know, we can be reached at ppaccone@smusd.us.

Sidenote #1: Fact Checking (according to KK)

  • According to the Library of Congress, 123 Americans died in the sinking of the Lusitania, not 128.
  • According to Wikipedia, the Germans did not destroy munition factories in America.
  • According to Intel-Gov, the Espionage Act of 1917 didn’t merely limit what one could say. It also limited what one could document about the war effort.
