Regents Prep Review Book

PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST.

Global 10 Parents and Students:

Beginning in April we will be reviewing and preparing for the Global History and Geography Regents Exam, which will be given in June. In order to prepare for this exam we will be using a review book from the Prentice Hall/Pearson Education publishing company.

The Review Book will be used for 2 PURPOSES:

1. To prepare students for the Regents Exam

2. To study more recent events and concepts in history that our textbook does not cover.

All students should be making arrangements to purchase this review book. There are three (3) teacher approved ways of purchasing this review book:

1. Ms. Hanemann and Ms. Riordan will have a classroom set available for students to use during prep sessions; all exercises will be completed on a separate sheet of paper instead of inside the book.

2. Barnes and Noble: Click HERE

3. Borders Books: Click HERE

4. Students and Parents can look for the review book on their own using the following information:

Title: Prentice Hall Brief Review: Global History and Geography
Edition: 2010
Publisher: Pearson Education
10 Digit ISBN: 0-13-370424-6
13 Digit ISBN: 978-0-13-370424-2

Students should have the book by April. You are encouraged to order early, as every 10th grade student in New York State is taking the exam this year and may also be using this text for review.

* If you cannot get a copy of the 2010 edition, you may use any edition from 2006 to 2010. Earlier editions may not cover events that may be tested on the exam.
