New York State Regents Global 10 Stimulus-Based Multiple-Choice Questions on Decolonization and Nationalism This 36-question assessment covers decolonization and nationalism using the New York State Regents stimulus-based multiple-choice format. Students analyze documents, maps, and images to evaluate historical context, point of view, purpose, bias, etc. These assessments help students build skills in analyzing primary and secondary sources, a key component of the Global History Regents exam. Teachers can assign them as unit reviews or test prep to familiarize students with the state exam format. Use the answer key for easy grading or import questions into an LMS. Stimulus-based tasks are challenging at first. Consider using standardized scoring to adjust grades as students learn this skill. There are strategies for scaffolding document analysis so students can build confidence over time. This resource helps prepare 10th graders for the Global History Regents exam.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Choose the answer a historical document, map or image best supports, working in the New York Regents stimulus-based multiple-choice format

  • Move across the decolonization era's main cases — India, Vietnam, Algeria, China and the founding of Israel — inside one assessment

  • Handle a connected run of sources on the same conflict rather than isolated one-off items

Teaching tips

  • Keep each web document beside its asset folder when copying the download; the fourteen stimuli load from those folders rather than sitting inside the page.

  • Check the pass-code sheet against the task you mean to assign before sending the code out — the sheet names the task it opens at the top of the page.

  • The TestDrive session logs no scores or time on task, so plan to collect results from the emails students send at the end rather than from a gradebook export.

  • Preview the stimulus set to plan the unit order: it groups into an India and Vietnam strand, an Algeria case, a China strand and an Israel-Palestine strand.

  • Because the questions cannot be edited in TestDrive mode, decide in advance whether the set is being used as a review or as a graded assessment.

Skills covered

  • Stimulus analysis — each question is built on a source image rather than a stem alone, in the New York Regents stimulus-based multiple-choice format.

  • Decolonization case coverage — the stimulus set spans Algerian independence, an Indian independence speech, Ho Chi Minh set beside Gandhi, and the Chinese Communist Party against the Guomindang.

  • Following one conflict across several sources — Balfour, Ben-Gurion, two speeches on establishing a state and two stimuli on Palestinian land loss run as a connected strand.

  • Chinese revolution content — the Cultural Revolution and Mao's Little Red Book appear as their own stimuli alongside the civil-war material.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

What is the TestDrive access that comes with the download?

A pass-code route into the vendor's virtual classroom. Students enter the code at the TestDrive URL with no registration or account, complete the task, and are shown results they can email to their teacher. It is a scaled-down mode: work is not saved once the session ends, no record of activity, score, focus or time on task is logged, and the questions cannot be edited or re-used.

How is the assessment itself packaged?

As saved web documents with their asset folders rather than as a printable sheet. One folder carries the assessment page's fourteen stimulus images and a second carries the same fourteen for the key document, so each page has to stay beside its own folder for the sources to display.

Which parts of the decolonization era do the stimuli cover?

Four strands. South and Southeast Asia through an Indian independence speech and a Ho Chi Minh and Gandhi pairing; North Africa through Algerian independence; China through the Communist Party against the Guomindang, the Cultural Revolution, Mao's Little Red Book and Taiwan; and the Middle East through Balfour, Ben-Gurion, two speeches on establishing a state and two stimuli on Palestinian land loss.
