CRQ: On Industrialization, 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. [Read more at the Innovation blog]

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Identify the historical context surrounding a primary-source document related to the Industrial Revolution.
Evaluate a document's reliability, considering authorship, purpose, and point of view.
Identify and explain a cause-and-effect relationship between events described in the documents.
Compare evidence from two related documents to identify a similarity or difference and support it with cited evidence.
Teaching tips
Review the teacher edition's scoring notes before grading, since the classroom rubric awards partial-credit distinctions the Regents exam itself does not.
Introduce the reliability criteria (authorship, purpose, point of view, time/place) explicitly before Set 2, since question 2b asks students to state their reasoning, not just a reliability judgment.
Assign Set 1 and Set 2 as two shorter sessions rather than one sitting, since each set has its own complete document-analysis sequence.
Skills covered
Document-based historical context analysis — students place a primary source's events and ideas in appropriate historical context.
Source reliability evaluation — students judge and justify a document's reliability using authorship, purpose, and point-of-view criteria.
Cause-and-effect reasoning — students identify and explain a cause-effect relationship drawn from primary-source documents.
Cross-document comparison — students identify a similarity or difference between two documents and support it with evidence from both.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How does Set 2 differ from Set 1 in what students must do?
Set 2 adds a reliability evaluation step — after identifying historical context from a nineteenth-century factory account, students must judge how reliable an 1852 Punch magazine cartoon is as evidence and explain their reasoning, then compare both documents directly.
