This course is a complete preparation program for New York Regents Global History and Geography II. It is designed for students who need to master the tested historical content, fill knowledge gaps, strengthen document analysis, and perform well on state-test-style questions under time limits.
The course covers the modern global history curriculum from approximately 1750 to the present, including major revolutions, industrialization, imperialism, the world wars, the Holocaust, the Cold War, decolonization, globalization, and contemporary global issues. It also teaches the geography, chronology, causation, comparison, and evidence-based writing skills required by the Regents exam.
Students do more than memorize facts. They learn how to read sources carefully, identify author point of view and historical context, evaluate reliability and limitations, compare historical developments, explain cause and effect, and write clear answers supported by specific evidence.
The program is aligned to the New York State standards, assessment blueprint, item types, and scoring expectations. It includes direct instruction, worked examples, guided practice, independent practice, cumulative review, and original exam-style questions with full answer explanations.
- Content mastery by era and theme: Enlightenment, revolutions, nationalism, industrialization, imperialism, global conflict, decolonization, and post-1990 issues
- Source analysis skills: sourcing, contextualization, reliability, bias, point of view, and interpretation of maps, charts, and political cartoons
- Regents task preparation: multiple-choice questions, short constructed responses, and the Enduring Issues Essay
- Writing instruction: thesis building, paragraph organization, document use, outside information, and explanation of historical reasoning
- Performance improvement tools: diagnostic assessment, standards-based review, timed drills, full mock testing, and mistake-log analysis
- Targeted remediation: students identify recurring errors by standard and skill, then follow a focused plan to correct them
By the end of the course, students should be able to explain major developments in modern world history, analyze historical sources accurately, answer Regents-style questions efficiently, justify their reasoning with evidence, and complete timed writing tasks with stronger organization and control.
This course is especially useful for New York students who want a structured, practical path to Regents readiness, including those who need to rebuild foundations, raise performance in specific reporting categories, or prepare intensively for the exam with realistic practice and detailed review.
