Regents Multiple Choice Review
Write Before You Speak
Use this sheet as a reference. Write all answers in your notebook.
Learning Target: I can analyze a Regents multiple choice question, explain why the correct answer is correct, and explain why other answer choices do not work.
Key Vocabulary
Clue: A word, date, image, symbol, map detail, chart detail, or source detail that helps you answer.
Evidence: Proof from the question, source, image, or what you know from history.
Correct Answer: The best answer based on the question and evidence.
Distractor: An answer choice that does not work.
Eliminate: To cross out an answer choice because it does not answer the question.
Consensus: When partners agree on one best answer after discussion.
Do Now: Visual Primary Source Notice Chart
Write before you speak.
Look carefully at the political cartoon, image, map, chart, or source connected to the question.
In your notebook, make this chart:
I See / Notice | I Think / Wonder | |
What people, objects, labels, dates, or symbols do I notice? What words or images stand out? What emotion or message does the cartoon show? | What might this source be saying? What historical topic might this connect to? What clue might help me answer the question? | |
Silently and independently answer as many multiple choice questions as you are able in 20 minutes. You want to aim for 1 minute per question. Jot down in your notebook: What evidence do you have for why the answer you selected is correct? |
Day 1 Protocol: My Best Answer — Partner Defense Focus: Prove why the correct answer is correct.

It connects to a different historical topic.
Use this frame: Choice _____ does not work because _____. The best answer is _____ because _____.
Partner Exchange
After you and your partner agree, teach another pair.
Say:
The correct answer is...
The best clue is...
We know this answer is correct because...
One answer choice does not work because...
The listening pair asks one question:
What clue proves your answer?
What topic does this connect to?
Why does that other answer not work?
What might confuse someone about this question?

Write before you speak: In your notebook, answer: What is one Regents strategy from today that you could use on a completely new question?
