<p>If you are interested in designing your own course, we liked the Annenberg lectures on American history, available online, <em>A Biography of America</em>.
[Annenberg</a> Media - A Biography of America](<a href=“http://www.learner.org/biographyofamerica/]Annenberg”>http://www.learner.org/biographyofamerica/)</p>
<p>We used a text that is often chosen by Advanced Placement teachers: <em>The Brief American Pageant: A History of the Republic</em> by David M. Kennedy, Lizabeth Cohen, Thomas Bailey, and Mel Piehl. We also used quite a few other resources, including original documents, but this was the main text.</p>
<p>UC Berkeley has some free course materials online for AP American History and several other AP courses.
