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. 3. If you see: Simon Bolivar, Toussaint, San Martin = those names mean the answer is either "Latin American 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 ... The 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)
OR ... RELIGION SONG!
10. If you see: Mao Zedong then the answer is the Communist choice. Be warned though: Mao also elevated the status of women. 11. Why could the conquistadors take over? They had superior weapons and technology! Duh.
13. Neolithic Revolution ... one day a few nomads discovered that if they planted seeds, it would become food. BINGO! Now they didn't have to travel from place to place and could have permanent settlements. Traditional Economies of early civilizations involved family agriculture and trade of simple products. 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 ... the answer is that he Westernized / Modernized Russia.
16. Anything about the Enlightenment will usually lead you to the choice that says "natural rights." Un-Locke those rights!
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 is usually, "human rights violations." Scroll down on this sheet for a list. 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 history ... 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 (or your "sub-sister"). 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, or steps for farming up a mountain. 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 Sa-hel" there. 25. 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. 26. Aung San Suu Kyi has been popping up lately. 27. The Guptas of India were advanced and had the concept of zero. Think of them as the G000ptas.
World History Review in 16 Minutes!
THEMATIC ESSAY ... Scariest Part CLICK HERE FOR MR. KLAFF'S SUMMARY OF GLOBAL THEMATICS AND DBQs SINCE 2001 The thematic is scary ... but not scary if you study the right things. KNOW THE FOLLOWING SIX THINGS, AND YOU HAVE A GREAT CHANCE OF KNOCKING THIS OUT OF THE PARK. Historically, these topics account for what has been found most often on thematics.
1. I would know 2 religions (belief systems) VERY WELL ... Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc ... (Religion Flashcards ... Religion Review Song) Religion could also be under a larger theme of cultures and their contributions. So Greece, Rome, or Ancient China could work in that case.
3. I would know two Revolutions REALLY WELL. Go French Revolution ... or Russian ... Peace, Land, and Bread! Studying both would cover you for the Political Systems of Absolutism (overthrow of) and Communism! Also, know a non-political one such as the Industrial or Neolithic Revolution! By studying Industrial, you are covered for the Economic Systems of capitalism and socialism. A revolution is GREAT for the Thematic, because it can be used for: Change, Conflict, War, or Turning Points. The Regents has asked that type of question often in recent years. 4. Human Rights Violations -- Study 2 of these very thoroughly: Holocaust, Khmer Rouge, Tiananmen Square, Apartheid. 5. Know a few individuals REALLY well. Pick two who are seen in a favorable light, and two who aren't. Scroll down on this sheet for a list of the major people of the course. When in doubt, Gandhi and Locke are easy to write about. 6. A pretty fun topic to write about is technology. But remember: WRITE ABOUT A TOPIC THAT YOU CAN DISCUSS IN DEPTH. The atomic bomb, Sputnik, or gunpowder are topics that fit this theme. Other choices include the astrolabe, aqueducts, and the printing press. Low Percentage Thematics include: Economic and Political Systems (mentioned above), Movements of People and Trade Organizations (Silk Roads, Gold-Salt trade, OPEC, NAFTA), Collapse of Governments (Fall of Rome & Soviet Union), Nationalism (WWI and WWII), and Global problems such as pollution and deforestation. BUT IT REALLY COULD BE ANYTHING! See the entire list of the thematic history by clicking the link above. ----------------------------------- 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!!!!!!!!
