HW Assignments Week of 5/29/2012

Due Date: June 4, 2012 

Target: To create a list of terms, and concepts necessary for mastery of the US History Regents Exam.

Point Value - 2.0 Grade Points

Hello, RUSHers:

We are going to finish the list of terms, and concepts that you need for the Regents Exam.  This is a continuation of the assignment you did for Spring Break.  Hopefully, you still have the index cards for the terms you did during Spring Break.  PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WILL BE A 100 QUESTION, 2-DAY EXAM, BASED ON THE INDEX CARDS NEXT WEEK!  (THURSDAY/FRIDAY TENTATIVELY)!!!  Here's what you need to do...

1. Obtain a set of Spiral-Bound Index Cards, like the ones shown here.

2. CLICK on the List of Important terms and concepts for the Regents Exam.  Print out the List.

3.  Complete the terms and concepts on the left side of the page; from "Mercantalism," to "World War II"  If you have the small, blue Regents review book that you were asked to purchase at the beginning of the school year, the numbers in parentheses indicate where you can find that information.  If you haven't purchased the book yet, I've seen some used copies .

4. For EACH term,  you will create an index card.  On the index card you will...

• Identify its meaning
• Time and Place it took place
• Why it's important
• Create a non-verbal image (drawing) to help you remember it

Please note that this assignment is worth 2.0 grade points.  Students who choose not to complete the assignment, will receive a grade of ZERO.  

While this may seem like a large assignment, if you break it down, and do a few each day, or work with a partner, it will not take very long.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WILL BE A 100 QUESTION, 2-DAY EXAM, BASED ON THE INDEX CARDS NEXT WEEK!  (THURSDAY/FRIDAY TENTATIVELY)!!!

GOOD LUCK!
