Hi students - I want to mention again that there are lots of fun and useful study materials for the Regents available for free on the internet. One good place to start is YouTube. I'll be showing some of this stuff in class. Start exploring on your own -- and please let me know when you find something good! Materials for previous Regents exams are available online at: http://www.nysedregents.org/globalhistorygeography/ The Oswego City School District also created regentsprep.org, which contains a variety of resources for the exam. Several students have mentioned to me that they found Crash Course videos to be very useful. Here's a link to the first one, about the Neolithic Revolution. There are 42 of these videos in total. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yocja_N5s1I I also like the YouTube videos created by a teacher named Mr. Klaff. Check out his website and YouTube videos: http://www.mrklaff.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-O1XVDklBI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1hr7C943ss http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpEnNY-1RTc Here are some other videos are also fun for multiple choice practice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiZ-X_Jqnjk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_v2R9RN7mA If you have kept an organized binder throughout the year, you have several other study materials at your disposal:
