Mock Regents Review

Keep the following ideas in mind as you get ready for document and essay portion of the Mock Regents!

Documents Strategies
¡Read the essay question before beginning to read the documents
¡Jot down at least 3 bullet points of information that you know about each of the topics given to generate  outside information
¡Read each document carefully and answer the question.
¡Give the document a note in the margin– identify which topic the document goes with; identify the perspective given (if that’s relevant); evaluate the document (positive or negative); or any other notes that might be helpful to you when you craft your essay.

Essay Strategies
¡Consider which two elements you can write the most about– which do you have the most outside information for? Which two do you have the best documents for?
¡Breakdown the task- what do you have to do in the essay? How many parts are there to the task?
¡How can you write your essay so that each claim builds on the next one?
¡ALWAYS TAKE THE TIME TO OUTLINE- EVEN A 1 MINUTE OUTLINE IS BETTER THAN NO OUTLINE!
