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.

Civic Literacy Essay for Week 10, Regents US History The Challenge of Creating a Stable Representative Government. This Civic Literacy essay is based on a set of primary source documents. The question is designed to test a student's ability to work with historical documents. In analyzing the documents, students consider the source of each document and any point of view that may be presented. The language and images used in a document may reflect the historical context of the time in which it was created.

Teachers preparing students for the New York State Regents will find it difficult to train students to write these well if they wait until the end of the year! Each of the civic literacy essays authored by Innovation Assessments LLC are designed for different points in the year such that documents come from historical context usually under study.

CRQ: Cold War Perspectives, Regents Global 10 + Video Lessons
Social Studies, History, History: World, Grade 10, Teacher Tools, Assessments
CRQ: Cold War Perspectives, 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: Cold War, Regents Global 10 + Video Lessons

CRQ: Cold War, 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.

Social Studies, First Peoples (Native), History, History: USA, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, Assessments, Teacher Tools
History comes alive in your 6th to 9th grade classrooms when you introduce compelling primary source texts for analysis. But analyzing a primary source document can be challenging for your students to understand. This 33-page resource, Tecumseh- A Warrior's Speech- Primary Source Analysis, Questions, Discussion, and Assessment offers teachers two lesson plans : an introduction or review of what primary sources are and how to analyze a primary source document by reading it 4 times for specific purposes. The 4-Reads approach has students reading, discussing, and answering questions to understand the context and origin of the document, discover the Big idea, establish the purpose or argument, and to read like a historian. Student discussions are engaging, lively , and collaborative as they delve deeply into understanding Tecumseh's speech, his reasoning and values as the indigenous tribes confronted encroaching land settlement and theft from white settlers. The lesson comes with 2 assessments : a multiple choice and short answer assessment and a creative "Say, Mean. Matter" assessment in which students choose a quote, passage, or paragraph from the speech, explain what it means, and analyzes why it matters. A copy of the primary source, Tecumseh- A Warrior's Speech as well as a paraphrased version is included so you can provide differentiated instruction for your ELL, RSP, 504, and struggling readers. The standards- aligned lesson includes the following: objectives and learning targets an Essential Question: How do indigenous perspectives on land and nature challenge dominant narratives of ownership and exploitation? 3 Guiding Questions: 1.
