Eras are the College Board designated "Periods" of history. We use the term Era in class. There are five eras covered in the fall semester and four covered in the spring semester. Each era is divided into units with 11 total units spread across the two semesters (six in fall and five in spring).
**Exam Dates marked with a double asterisk (**) cover only the topics in the Era Framework that apply to the chapters covered. Dates in RED need to be updated for the new school year.
