first attempt using word.\u00a0 They have lots of snazzy templates, but I couldn&#8217;t really find something I &#8216;loved&#8217;.\u00a0 Therefore, I ended up building something from scratch.\u00a0 I based the color scheme and lots of the design elements off of pages from old books (especially books with pictures).\u00a0 I&#8217;m pretty satisfied with the final product, although it took much longer to produce than usual.\u00a0 Hopefully, in the future it won&#8217;t be so time consuming.\u00a0 Here is <a href=\"https:\/\/magic.piktochart.com\/output\/23735067-intro-us-history-syllabus\">a
