US History Regents Short Essays "Industrialization 4" + Video Lessons
Social Studies, History, History: USA, Grade 11, Teacher Tools, Assessments
US History Regents Short Essays "Industrialization 4 " + Video Lessons This product is a short essay task in the format of the new New York State Regents examination in US History and Government. Industrialization in late 19th and early 20th century America was far more than just the accumulation of capital that its defenders envisioned. The radical transformation of society that came as a result of industrialization and urbanization left no one out. Unprecedented problems required important government interventions to protect citizens from predatory corporations, child labor, labor abuses, and worker safety negligence. If you are afraid to assign your students this as a test because they are not likely to do well at first and don’t want to bother their GPA, I recommend using standardized scoring. You can use the z-score calculator here at Innovation Assessments . Use 78 as your standard mean and 14.8 as your standardized standard deviation. Read more about standardized scoring here and where I got those figures. The beauty of this system is you can apply this to their grades every month and as the class improves, as the class average approaches the standardized mean (78 in this case), then the algorithm affects their scores less and less.

Social Studies, History, History: World, Grade 10, Teacher Tools, Assessments
CRQ: The World in 1750, Regents Global 10 + Video Lessons This product is a constructed-response question (“CRQ”) in the format of the new New York State Regents examination in Global History and Geography. The CRQ calls upon the student to examine historical sources (I use exclusively primary sources) by providing historical or geographic context, identifying the point of view, intended audience, or purpose of a document and then using the two documents in either compare-contrast, cause-effect analysis, or turning point identification. I advocate a strategy of assigning one CRQ in each unit of study in grades nine and ten without access to notes. I used this as one of the tests at the end of a unit of study. I would tell students about what kinds of documents would appear and what historical context they should be able to recall in advance. It is a challenging task for them. The first challenge for novices is to understand what it means to provide context. Faced with the question “What is the historical context of this document?”, beginners will retell what the document says. The reason for this mistake is that, since they were little kids, teachers have asked them to relate what a text means to prove they understood it.

CRQ: "Decolonization and Nationalism+ 3 slide shows, Regents Global 10
Social Studies, History, History: World, Grade 10, Teacher Tools, Assessments
CRQ: "On Decolonization and Nationalism" + 3 slide shows , Regents Global 10 This product is a constructed-response question (“CRQ”) in the format of the new New York State Regents examination in Global History and Geography. The CRQ calls upon the student to examine historical sources (I use exclusively primary sources) by providing historical or geographic context, identifying the point of view, intended audience, or purpose of a document and then using the two documents in either compare-contrast, cause-effect analysis, or turning point identification. I advocate a strategy of assigning one CRQ in each unit of study in grades nine and ten without access to notes. I used this as one of the tests at the end of a unit of study. I would tell students about what kinds of documents would appear and what historical context they should be able to recall in advance. It is a challenging task for them. The first challenge for novices is to understand what it means to provide context. Faced with the question “What is the historical context of this document?”, beginners will retell what the document says. The reason for this mistake is that, since they were little kids, teachers have asked them to relate what a text means to prove they understood it.
