Global Studies Regents Review Sheet.
Click here for the Global Regents Review Song.
or ... MUSIC VIDEO! Mr. Klaff's most common multiple choice predictions and tips ...
2. If you see: 3 documents that limited the absolute monarchy = Habeas corpus act, Magna Carta, Bill of Rights. Before that there was absolutism in England ... and in France. Don't be fooled ... limited monarchy = constitutional monarchy. Same thing. 3. If you see: Simon Bolivar, Toussaint, San Martin = those names mean the answer is either "independence movements" or "nationalism." 4. If you see: Green Revolution = go with the Food choice ... salad is green, and it is food! 5. If you see: Boer War, Sepoy Rebellion, Opium War, Boxers ... odds are you forgot all of this ... so choose "imperialism led to bad stuff" or "protest/kick out foreign nations imperializing" 6. If you see: Karl Marx = answer will be classless society, or 'capitalism leads to bad stuff.'
8. WHEN IN DOUBT AFTER THAT ... go with the "warm and fuzzy choice." This is a happy and optimistic choice that sounds like this ... "These cultures exchanged ideas, and had a flowering of creative thought. They gave us mathematics and science." Rule of thumb ... Mr. Regents wants you to understand that places you never heard of have impacted your life positively! 9. Everything you need to know about religions -- remember that my friends Rick and Benn went golfing on a Par(F)5 hole ... RICK = Ramadan, India, Caste, Karma BENN = Buddhism, Enlightenment (or Eightfold Path), Noble Truths, Nirvana PARF5 = Pilgrimage, Alms, Ramadan, Faith, Pray 5 Times a Day. 10. If you see: Mao Zedong then the answer is the Communist choice. 11. Why could the conquistadors take over? They had superior weapons and technology! Duh. Who came after the conquistadors ... EVERYONE!!!
13. Neolithic Revolution ... one day a few nomads discovered that if they planted seeds, it would become food. BINGO! Now they don't have to travel from place to place and can have permanent settlements. 14. If you see: Encomienda = Forced Labor in Native America. No one ever remembers that. If you do, then you probably don't need this review sheet. 15. If you see: Peter the Great Modernized ... answer is that he Westernized / Modernized Russia. 16. Anything about the Enlightenment will usually lead you to the choice that says "natural rights." The Regents will favor the writers of Enlightenment moreso than the scientists.
18. Ethnic Cleansing, the Holocaust, Khmer Rouge, Tiananmen Square, and Apartheid are unfortunate events of world history. Essays of this nature have come up. But for multiple choice purposes, the answer usually is, "human rights violations." 19. EU = EUROPEAN UNION. They are now united, and it has strengthened Europe's economy. 20. If you see: Mansa Musa ... the answer has something to do with him converting Mali to Islam. 21. Questions 1-3 on the Regents tend to have nothing to do with anything ... usually it involves a "physical map," or a map that has mountains and rivers jutting out of it. Or, it is a question about economies/resources or what an anthropologist does. 22. The Great Wall of China was built to keep out invaders from the North. 23. If you see: A farming question about Native Americans, know that it's all about Terrace Farming. 24. I know this may sound weird, but I have never seen the same choice 4 times in a row. So if you see 4 C's in a row, double check it. Three in a row comes up often, but 4 -- not yet. But, they can change that, be on your toes. ------------------------------------------------------ THEMATIC ESSAY ... Scariest Part The thematic is scary ... but not scary if you study the right things. KNOW THE FOLLOWING FOUR THINGS, AND YOU HAVE A 90% CHANCE OF KNOCKING THIS OUT OF THE PARK. 1. I would know 2 of the following 3 religions VERY WELL ... Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism ...
3. I would know one Revolution REALLY WELL. Go French Revolution ... Let them eat Cake!!!" Or Russian ... Peace, Land, and Bread! A revolution is GREAT for the Thematic, because it can be used for: Change, Conflict, War, Turning Points. The Regents has asked that type of question often in recent years. For French Revolution review, scroll down. 4. Human Rights Violations -- Study 2 of these very thoroughly: Holocaust, Khmer Rouge, Tiananmen Square, Apartheid. ----------------------------------- DBQ ... As for the scaffolding questions ... if you see two lines ... write three! Don't get skimpy on these easy questions! It's all about the Outside Knowledge ... write whatever you know in the margins of those scaffolding questions. Biggest tip I could give you ... ON ALL ESSAYS -- IT'S QUALITY AND QUANTITY ... IF YOU ARE SKIMPY ON HISTORY, WE WILL BE SKIMPY ON YOUR ESSAY GRADE. ESSAYS ARE THE BULK OF THIS TEST!!!!!!!! World History Music Video, by the Social Studs

Causes = M - Monarchy's abuses, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette (Let Them Eat Cake) E - Enlightenment A - American Revolution T - Taxes on the 3rd Estate (98% of the people) Slogan = LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY -- as found in the Declaration of the Rights of Man. Chronology - 1789 - Storming of Bastille --> National Assembly Takes Over --> c1794, King and Queen Executed --> Jacobins Rule --> Reign of Terror --> 1796 Directory appoints Napoleon as Commander in Chief --> 1799 - Coup d etat of Napoleon Philosophy of Enlightenment Thinkers: John Locke wrote Two Treatises on Government - life, liberty, property. Voltaire = known for free speech rights. John Jacques Rousseau - do not obey an unjust law, "man is born free and everywhere he is in chains" Chains are unjust laws. Baron de Montesquieu = Spirit of the Laws = Separation of Powers with three equal branches of government.
Causes = Weakness of the Czar = continued WWI, Bloody Sunday, poorly equipped military, lack of bread. Increased popularity of socialism after rapid industrialization led to exploited workers and bad conditions. Slogan = Peace, Land, Bread. Chronology - 1917 = Czar --> Provisional Government (takes power in March) --> Bolshevik Revolution (Lenin takes over in November. Philosophy of the Russian Revolution Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels - The Communist Manifesto -- labor raises up to rule in a classless society where the means of production are shared.

Herchel Tried Varsity Swimming And Jumped in My Pool Haiti Touissaint; Venezuela Simon Bolivar, Argentina Jose San Martin, Mexico Padre San Morelos TM ME = TRUMAN MILITARY AID, MARSHALL PLAN ECONOMIC AID GO PE = Glasnost is the Opening up of the USSR. Perestroika is economic restructuring with some capitalism.

Czechoslovakia, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Yugoslavia (out of Central Powers) ... Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania (out of Russia) MEAT or TEAM if you are vegetarian -- see above regarding France.
