U. S. History I & II : T.Bailey/ D.Kennedy/L Cohen The American Pageant 12th edition

            ISBN-10: 9990817545

            ISBN-13: 978-9990817546

There are a lot of used copies of this book available on Amazon. Students MUST have this book, because I will give them a copy of the other book we use. This is the book I use every year.

A note from Dr Simmons: When it comes to books, my experience has been that students who have and use physical copies of books will do better in my classes than students who try to read on their phones or tablets – devices simply provide too many distractions. The texts below are mandatory for each of these classes, but all are older and used copies of every one of these is available for less than $10 on Amazon (and other places I’m sure). Don’t wait though – many colleges use some of these texts too (especially the English books) so they’ll start going soon.

If you have questions, please feel free to email me at rsimmons@thegeorgetownschool.org
