New York State Global Studies Regents Review Sheet. Use this page's links as an online review packet and study guide. Global Regents Review Song. or ... World History 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 were in the Draft ... RICK = Reincarnation, India, Caste, Karma BENN = Buddhism, Enlightenment (or Eightfold Path), Noble Truths, Nirvana DRAFT = Daily prayer (Faith), Ramadan, Alms (charity), Faith, Travel to Mecca (Pilgrimage)
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, it means 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 ... the 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. Europe is mostly united, and it has strengthened their economy. 20. If you see: Mansa Musa ... the answer has something to do with him converting Mali to Islam. Remember: Mansa Musa Mali Muslim 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. Also know that subsistence farming is when you farm just enough for your family. Slash-and-burn means to burn the forest and use the ashes for fertilizer. 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. If you see: The Sahel ... it's related to desertification, as the Sahara desert is expanding to this area. Just remember it's as "hot as Sahel" there. 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.
World History Review in 12 Minutes!
THEMATIC ESSAY ... Scariest Part CLICK HERE FOR MR. KLAFF'S SUMMARY OF GLOBAL THEMATICS SINCE 2001 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 ... (Religion Flashcards ... Religion Review Song)
3. I would know two revolutions 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. In terms of the French Revolution, also know the Enlightenment. Essays on Intellectuals could come up. Locke, Rousseau, and Montesquieu would fit that essay too. 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!!!!!!!!
