If they really are looking at the NY Regents exam to structure history, let's look

= = =HERE'S THE NYC SCOPE AND SEQUENCE= [|NYChsscopeandsequence.pdf] 9th grade: Global 10th grade: Global 11th grade: US history and government 12th grade: Civics or Geography or Economics

=HERE'S NYC SCOPE AND SEQUENCE FOR 7th and 8th grade= [|SocStudScopeSeq.pdf] 7th grade: Native Americans until Civil War and Reconstruction 8th grade: Industrialism to WWII and local history

The outline on the NY Regents for US History is MORE LIKE a GOVERNMENT TEST with US History snapshots http://www.nysedregents.org/USHistoryGov/home.html http://regentsprep.org/regents/ushisgov/ushisgov.cfm

The 9th and 10th grade year serve as GEOGRAPHY and WORLD HISTORY http://www.nysedregents.org/GlobalHistoryGeography/
