This course prepares students for the U.
This course prepares students for the U.S. History and Government Regents exam by reviewing critical events, themes, and concepts from American history. Students will explore topics such as the Constitution, major Supreme Court cases, social and political movements, industrialization, and America’s role in global affairs. The course emphasizes document analysis, essay writing, and the development of historical thinking skills, including cause and effect, continuity and change, and contextualization. Through targeted practice with Regents-style multiple-choice questions and essays, students will build the confidence and skills necessary for success on the exam.
Students will create a U.S. History review portfolio, including thematic and document-based essay responses, timelines of key events, and annotated primary sources. This portfolio will serve as a comprehensive study tool for the Regents exam and demonstrate their mastery of historical analysis and essay writing.
