This 18-page document contains both a student study guide and a teacher's guide specifically for prep of the Part 3 of the New York State Common Core Regents Examination in English. The student guide suggests 5 "writing strategies" to consider for any potential text. The JFK speech excerpt has been included. The teacher guide suggests reading steps. A post-reading worksheet (which can be adapted for other text practice) asks students to narrow the central idea and narrow evidence to support. A graphic organizer will help students pre-write analysis of a piece of evidence that contains the "writing strategy." Included, but not part of the Regents Part 3 task, is a set of multiple choice. Paragraph outlines will help students work through their drafts. The teacher's guide has photo copies of my own marginalia and an answer key to the multiple choice. Sample answers of the post-reading and graphic organizer are included for you, as well as my own 2-paragraph sample answer. The rubric is accessible from the state website, but a copy has been included for you. This makes the perfect 2-day, block-scheduled mini-unit. Work with students through the reading and pre-writing, and then time them to answer the question in 30 minutes as realistic prep for pacing and timing. You won't be disappointed with this product!
