About This Product

Regents US History Short Essays, "Colonial Foundations No. 3" This secondary US history teaching resource helps students develop historical document analysis skills like placing a document in context and analyzing factors affecting reliability. It includes two sets of primary source documents with accompanying prompts formatted after the New York State Regents US History exam part II short essay task. Students describe context, identify relationships between events/ideas in documents (cause/effect, similarity/difference, turning points), and analyze how audience, purpose, bias or point of view affects a document's usefulness as evidence. Pairs of documents allow students to practice these essential skills. Monthly practice followed by debriefing where classmates anonymously review each other's work helps cement strategies for success. The resource includes a cover sheet, two document sets with prompts, and a grading rubric. Using authentic primary sources gives students an enriched, historian-style experience examining the past.
