Brief description of the U.S. History Regents

Part 1 A: 50 multiple choice questions. Answer each question (even if

you have to take a guess).

Part 1 B: 8 short answer questions based on documents. Answer

each question.

Part 2: Thematic essay. You will write an essay that includes all

aspects of the subject and support the theme with relevant facts.

One possible theme might be Geography and U.S.Government

Actions: Geographic factors often influence United States

government actions, both foreign and domestic. Some of these

factors include location, physical environment, movement of

people, climate, and resources.

Part 3: Document based essay (the DBQ). You will be given a set of documents t

documents that have a specific historical context. You will then be

asked to perform a task, answer some questions, and write an

essay based on the documents. You may use some of the answers

that you gave in Part 1B in this essay. Part 3--the DBQ--is worth

more than the thematic essay.

History Regents Essays Both the Global and U.S. History Exams have Thematic Essays and Document Based Essays

!

T h e m a t i c E s s a y s

The thematic essay question on the History Regents will count for approximately 15 percent of the total points for

the exam. You will be required to understand, interpret, and explain a key social studies them or concept. Your essay should: state a main idea in a thesis statement, develop that

thesis and support it with detail, and summarize the main idea with an effective conclusion.

The directions for thematic essay questions always contain three parts: a theme, a task,

and suggestion.

The Theme: This part of the question

identifies a broad social studies

theme that will be the general topic of your essay. The theme is given more focus by a brief explanatory statement that follows the statement of the theme.

The Task The second part of a

thematic essay is the task. The task section usually has three

parts and presents the instructions you will need to write your essay. Generally, you will be asked to define or describe a theme or concept in some way. Typical forms of

evaluation include describing causes or effects and evaluating positive or negative aspects.

Suggestions This is the final part of the

essay. It lists specific areas that

you might choose to discuss in your essay. Be sure to follow the directions carefully.

D o c u m e n t B a s e d Q u e s t i o n s ( D B Q )

This type of question presents you with you with up to eight historical documents on a single subject. The documents

may be letters, speeches, or other written records; maps; charts; political cartoons; graphs or tables.

These questions have many characteristics. The

documents provide information and express viewpoints about a theme.

A DBQ always has two parts. Part A requires short

answers. Part B requires an essay.

General Directions The question will begin with

a set of directions. These

directions will tell you what to do

for each part of the question.

Historical Context Each question will contain

a short statement that defines historical context for the question.

Task This statement defines the

overall task that you will perform as you examine the documents.

Part A: Short Answer Here you will be presented

with the documents themselves. Each document will be followed by one or possibly more questions. Be sure to answer all of the short answer questions.

Part B: Essay The essay includes a set of instructions & repeats the historical context. Pay very close attention to the instructions. They call for a well organized essay with an introduction and a conclusion. Use evidence from the documents to support your response. Include related information from your knowledge of Social Studies, not found in the documents.
