About This Product

The Roaring 20s Regents US History Short Essays is an exceptional educational tool, mainly suited for high school grades (10-12). A focus is kept on understanding the context of historical texts and documents, especially around The Roaring 20s era.

This resource aligns with the standards of the New York State Regents examination, emphasizing on document analysis. By completing these exercises, students will learn to:

Understand not only text but its historical contexts.
Evaluate a document's credibility considering factors like audience appeal and author bias.

The product includes two sets of Stimulus-Based Short-Essay Questions that are similar to those on NYS's United States History and Government Regents Examination (Framework). Each set presents primary source documents associated with related prompts, offering students valuable insights into studying history academically.

In Set one, learners are directed to:

Describe the historical setting of each document.
Identify connections between events or ideas in terms of cause-effect relationships or by pointing out their similarities/differences.

In Set two, they are required to assess how various constituents like audience attention or bias influence a document's reliability. Each set also comes with respective rubrics based on an easy-to-use 5-point scoring scale which aids in formative assessments and tracking progress during their course. This resource can be efficently used by teachers while instructing small study groups or entire classes by incorporating these short essay tasks regularly followed by class discussions focusing peer evaluations which aid in learning improvement strategies over time. The item comes as a PDF file containing cover sheet, sets of documents (each containing two pairs) alongwith grading rubric. It can be conveniently used either as classroom activities or homework assignments for reinforcing taught lessons and is therefore suited for educators teaching Language Arts, Social Studies, Writing or U.S History.
