ELA Regents Prep in Four Session

ELA in 4 sessions

These materials are intended to help you prepare a student to take the NYS Common Core English Language Arts Regents Exam.  

The organization of this version is based on the assumption that you have four approximately one-hour sessions to work with the student.  If what I have chosen to prioritize in these four sessions do not align perfectly with the individual needs of the student you’re working with, I encourage you to adapt the activities and materials to your situation.  I also encourage you to substitute any developmentally appropriate texts that you think will capture your students’ interest.

Description of Resources available under “Book Resource Files,” below.

Facilitator Guide: This Facilitator Guide has general information about the NYS Common Core English Language Arts Regents Exam, along with specific information and guidance for each session, and answers to the questions to the student handouts.

Student Handouts: Each session has its own student handout with information, examples, and exercises for the student to practice.

Other Handouts:

  • Annotated January 2019 Exam : Provides an example for how to mark the text while reading. This is used in Sessions 2 and 3.
  • Evidence T-Chart Example: Sample of how to use a T-Chart to organize evidence for each side of the argument, from each reading text. This is technique is introduced in Session 3.

Past ELA Regents Exams :

  • Session 2 uses June 2018, Part 1
  • Session 3 has a choice of five past exams, so students can choose from five topics to practice an argumentative essay in Part 2 of June 2018, August 2017, January 2016, June 2015, or January 2015
  • The New York State Education Department (NYSED) provides access to more of the past ELA Regents Exams at nysedregents.org/hsela

Support for English Learners : NYSED Guides of Literary Terms & Devices for Language Arts:

Found by scrolling to the bottom of the Bilingual Glossaries, this Guide provides a definition and example for each term, in a bilingual format, with the terms in English and the target Language. Currently available in 22 languages, including Arabic, Haitian, Karen, Nepali, Somali, and Spanish. https://steinhardt.nyu.edu/metrocenter/resources/glossaries

The MASTER Set is split into two Files. “MASTER Part 1” has the Facilitator Guide, Student Handouts 1-4, and the primary past ELA Regents Exam from January 2019. “MASTER Part 2” has the other past ELA Regents Exams for use in Session 3 and for optional practice.
