Welcome AP World History Teachers
Greetings fellow AP World History teacher. I created this website for my students but soon learned that many teachers were accessing my site and making use of my resources. Since then, I have tried to provide the AP World community with presentations and handouts they can use in their classrooms.
$150 for Google Drive Access
$60 for Access to Answer Keys (with email proof you are a teacher)
If you would feel more comfortable paying via invoice, please email me and I'd be happy to send you one through PayPal.
My email is [email protected]
What Your Donation Includes:
An entire course of AP World History content - browse this website to see all of the materials you will be able to access
You will gain access to every handout, activity, and presentation I use to teach the AP World History course. Additionally, access is LIVE which means you will have access to all edits and additions over time. I've added dates next to things I have added or updated.
Continued access to any additions or edits I make to the course materials over time; access is long-term
This is not a subscription and will not need to be renewed.
Content directly aligned with CB's Course Content for AP World:
I created a course that covers nearly every topic for AP World History Modern as outlined in the Course and Exam Description. I also focus the content, activities, and handouts on the five course themes: Environment, Cultural Developments, Governance, Economic Systems, Social Interactions & Organization, and Technology & Innovation.
Content directly aligned with CB's skills:
My activities consistently address AP World's three historical reasonings skills: causation, comparison, and changes and continuities over time. These skills are woven into all of my lesson and presentations to ensure that students are practicing the skills they need to be successful on the AP World History exam.
Materials created and used by a successful and experienced AP World teacher working in a public school
My AP World History pass rate has been at or above 97% for the last eight years. In 2025 I had 137 students take the AP World exam and 48% of them made a 5 compared to the national average of 16%.
I know it's a bit tacky to share my test scores, but for transparency I have my 2025 test scores posted below.

Remarks from Adamson Adventure Users
"As a first year AP World teacher your site provided valuable insight and help as I got started this year. While many others post their materials, I found that your activities made the most sense for how my brain processed the curriculum. I've had a handful of awesome mentors throughout my career and in many ways, you have been a virtual one." - Charise, PA
"Thank you again for your resources. They have truly been a lifeline for a first time APWH history teacher, and knowing they are something that's available really does help take away the Sunday Scaries - those are SO REAL." - Rob
"I also wanted to thank you for creating such high-quality instructional materials. As someone who's both a veteran teacher and a first-time APWH teacher, they have been a life saver. Clear-cut, adaptable, aligned to all the course goals. I've used them in combination with ______'s paid materials, and over time I've come to rely more on yours for their depth and alignment to the unit topics." - Brandon, NC
“I would also like to take a moment to thank you for putting these things together. . . .I especially like your graphic organizers! You've been a major life preserver to get ideas for my first year of AP World. I hope that you get all the support in the world because I can see how much work, knowledge, and experience into your content. It's such a daunting course, but your materials help so much, or give me ideas that I can build on. ” - Ben, OH
Frequently Asked Questions
"How long will I have access to the Adamson Adventure Google Drive?"
Your donation secures long-term access to the Google Drive. This is not a subscription and you will not need to renew your donation at any time.
"Can I get a receipt for my donation?"
The best way to receive a receipt is to email me and ask for an invoice BEFORE donating. Please email me at [email protected] and let me know if you want basic access or access + answer keys and I will email you an invoice.
"Why are you charging two seperate prices for your website and answer keys?"
Not everyone wants or needs answer keys. This would be most useful for 1) new AP World teachers 2) teachers that need to leave answer keys for long-term substitutes.
Additionally, I want to have more control over who has access to the answer keys. Proof that you are an educator is required. All answer keys are PDF files and are hand written by me to avoid students gaining access and cutting and pasting information directly onto their own digital handouts.
"I can't afford the donation request for access."
I realize not everyone has the capacity to donate for access. There are a plethora of free resources available online and within online AP World communities for teachers to access.
College Board has created videos and materials available at AP Central. Another popular free source is the OER Project which has dozens of free lessons that are aligned to the AP World History Modern curriculum.
My former student teacher Catherine Brown has a wealth of incredible and free materials available at her website Brown's Guide to World History. I wish I could take credit for what an amazing teacher she's become, but she was an amazing teacher (and historian!) even as a student teacher.
"I want to donate, but I don't use PayPal."
If you do not have a PayPal and would prefer to use Venmo or Cash App, please email me and I will give you my information! I am happy to accommodate you!
"What if I donated in the past?"
If you have previously donated and would like access minus your previous donation(s), please email me. I have records of all past donations and I would like to honor your past contributions and kindness! A link to my email is near the top of the page.
"What if I want my school district to make the donation instead of it being a personal donation?"
Please email me to have me create an invoice for you. I will need your school name, address, and name and email of the person who needs the invoice. I have a W9 available if requested by your school district. Please check with your bookkeeper about your district or school's specific rules and requirements for reimbursement.
"I don't want access to everything. I just need materials for a specific unit. Can I donate less to have access to specific materials and not the full site?"
While I understand this is often the case, the donation is for full site access. I do not have the option for you to purchase materials a la carte.
