Apush Decade Organizer

Knowing more than the facts is essential for success on the AP Test. This exercise will help you create thematic associations within decades.

*Place the correct decade or group of years beside each group of specific factual information. Remember some items can fit into more than one decade so be sure to read through and consider the entire group.
**On the chart for each Decade, write a definition or description of what each item is, how it relates to that particular decade, and what other terms could be associated with that decade.
