13 Part A Short-Answer Questions Directions: Analyze the documents and answer the short-answer questions that follow each document in the space provided. Document 1 The Impact of the Atlantic Slave Trade on the New World Whatever the effect of slavery on Africa, there can be no doubt that black slaves [enslaved Africans] played a crucial part in the economic development of the New World, above all by making up for shortages of labour. The arrival of Europeans in the Americas had brought diseases that decimated [destroyed] local populations, which reduced the potential for securing labour from that source; and often too few Europeans chose to migrate to the Americas to meet the demand for labour. This was particularly true in Brazil and the Caribbean, where people of African origin became by far the largest section of the population; it was also the case in parts of North America, although here white people outnumbered black people. Black slaves were especially important as a labour supply for the plantation agriculture that developed in the New World, first in Brazil, and later in the Caribbean and the southern parts of North America. The plantation system had begun in medieval times on Mediterranean islands such as Crete and Cyprus it was an unusually sophisticated form of agricultural operation for its day, producing sugar for the international market at a time when most of European agriculture concentrated on the basics of local subsistence. But from its inception [beginning], it used slaves; and when plantations were set up in the Americas, black slaves became the backbone of the workforce....

14 Document 2a... Sugarcane was introduced into Hispaniola and then Brazil in the sixteenth century, thereby jumping the Atlantic as part of an exchange of food crops and commodities that increased demand for tropical goods and therefore the need for labor. In all these activities, enslaved Africans were used as a principal source of labor, and sometimes for military employment, too. The transfer of sugarcane was the most important development and would lead to the enslavement of millions of Africans, but many other crops, including indigo, rice, tobacco, coffee, cocoa, and cotton, were introduced, with varying degrees of success but always with the input of enslaved African labor. However, before the middle of the seventeenth century, the total number of enslaved Africans that were taken away from western Africa was relatively small, especially in comparison with the great expansion in slavery thereafter. Even in this early period, however, the number of enslaved Africans being forced to cross the Atlantic was greater by far than the number of Europeans voluntarily doing so.... Source: Paul E.

16 Document 4 In the spring of 1492, shortly after the Moors were driven out of Granada, Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain expelled all the Jews from their lands and thus, by a stroke of the pen, put an end to the largest and most distinguished Jewish settlement in Europe. The expulsion of this intelligent, cultured, and industrious [hardworking] class was prompted only in part by the greed of the king and the intensified nationalism of the people who had just brought the crusade [campaign] against the Moslem Moors to a glorious close. The real motive was the religious zeal of the Church, the Queen, and the masses. The official reason given for driving out the Jews was that they [Jews] encouraged the Marranos [Jews who converted to Christianity to escape persecution] to persist in their Jewishness and thus would not allow them to become good Christians....

Another factor explaining why this region [Spain] should send over more emigrants than any other area might be summed up under the heading, Economic Distress. It is a wellknown fact that Spain gradually declined economically during the sixteenth century. One reason for this was the expulsion of the stable and industrious [hardworking] Jews. Industry became more decadent [declined], consequently, and thousands were thrown out of work. The methods used in agriculture by the Jews and the Moslems were also soon forgotten, a factor which left many at the mercy of a dry climate and a poor soil, especially in the south.

19 Document 7a This passage describes circumstances in Ireland in the mid-1840s.... The population s over-reliance on the potato compounded the crisis. A New World crop, potatoes were introduced to Ireland during the late 16th and early 17th centuries by English colonists. At first, they were considered an upper-class delicacy. By 1800, a fleshy, knobby variety known as the lumper potato ideally suited to Ireland s cool, wet climate had replaced oatmeal as a dietary staple among the poor and working class. Cheap, high-yielding and nutritious, lumper potatoes, when mixed with a little milk or buttermilk, provided enough carbohydrates, protein and minerals to sustain life, presuming enough were eaten. Thus, the average Irish male ate 45 potatoes a day; an average woman, about 36; and an average child, 15. Deeply entrenched in Ireland s economy and lifestyle, the potato was, in the words of a traditional Gaelic folk song, adoringly praised as Grá mo chroí ( Love of my heart ). Despite the loss of this beloved and critical resource, Ireland was by no means bereft of [lacking] food. Indeed, its farms and pastures abounded with pigs, cattle and sheep, as well as wheat, barley, oats and vegetables; its streams, rivers, lakes and coastline teemed with fish. The cruel irony was that most of this bounty was off-limits to the starving populace....

More detailed directions for the organization of the rating process and procedures for rating the examination are included in the Information Booklet for Scoring the Regents Examination in Global History and Geography and United States History and Government. Rating the Essay Question (1) Follow your school s procedures for training raters. This process should include: Introduction to the task Raters read the task Raters identify the answers to the task Raters discuss possible answers and summarize expectations for student responses Introduction to the rubric and anchor papers Trainer leads review of specific rubric with reference to the task Trainer reviews procedures for assigning holistic scores, i.e., by matching evidence from the response to the rubric Trainer leads review of each anchor paper and commentary Practice scoring individually Raters score a set of five papers independently without looking at the scores and commentaries provided Trainer records scores and leads discussion until the raters feel confident enough to move on to actual rating (2) When actual rating begins, each rater should record his or her individual rating for a student s essay on the rating sheet provided, not directly on the student s essay or answer sheet. The rater should not correct the student s work by making insertions or changes of any kind. (3) Each essay must be rated by at least two raters; a third rater will be necessary to resolve scores that differ by more than one point. Schools are not permitted to rescore any of the open-ended questions (scaffold questions, thematic essay, DBQ essay) on this exam after each question has been rated the required number of times as specified in the rating guides, regardless of the final exam score. Schools are required to ensure that the raw scores have been added correctly and that the resulting scale score has been determined accurately. Teachers may not score their own students answer papers. Global Hist. & Geo. Rating Guide Aug. 17 [2] Vol. 1

27 Global History and Geography Content-Specific Rubric Thematic Essay August 2017 Theme: Task: Intellectual life Individuals Often in history, individuals, who were not leaders of government, had ideas that influenced change in their society or in other societies and regions. Select two individuals, who were not government leaders, and for each Explain an idea the individual had that influenced change Describe the historical circumstances surrounding the idea of this individual Discuss how this idea influenced change in a society or region You may use any individual, who was not the leader of a government, from your study of global history and geography. Some suggestions you might wish to consider include Confucius, Buddha, Plato, Jesus, Muhammad, Martin Luther, Galileo Galilei, John Locke, Mary Wollstonecraft, Karl Marx, Charles Darwin, Mohandas Gandhi, and Mother Teresa. Scoring Notes: You are not limited to these suggestions. Do not make the United States the focus of your answer. 1. This thematic essay has a minimum of six components (discussing an idea each of two individuals had that influenced change, the historical circumstances surrounding the idea of each individual, and how each idea influenced change in a society or region). 2. The individual could have held political office; however, the discussion must focus on either the time period before the person gained political office or the time period after the individual left political office, e.g., Nelson Mandela or Aung San Suu Kyi. 3. The change may be an immediate change or a long-term change. 4. The change may be discussed from any perspective as long as the position taken is supported by accurate facts and examples. 5. The same idea may be used for both individuals, e.g., monotheism may be discussed for both Jesus and Muhammad, but the details should be specific to each individual. 6. The influence on the United States may be included as part of the discussion for how an idea significantly changed a specific society or region, e.g., the effect of John Locke s ideas on the American Revolution. 7. The same society or region may be used to discuss how the ideas of two individuals led to a significant change, but the details should be specific to each individual, e.g., Europe in the 1600s was changed by the ideas of both Galileo Galilei and John Locke. 8. The society or region need not be specifically identified as long as it is implied in the discussion. 9. If more than two individuals are discussed, only the first two individuals discussed may be scored. Global Hist. & Geo. Rating Guide Aug. 17 [3] Vol. 1

28 Score of 5: Thoroughly develops all aspects of the task evenly and in depth by discussing an idea each of two individuals had that influenced change, the historical circumstances surrounding the idea of each individual, and how each idea influenced change in a society or region Is more analytical than descriptive (analyzes, evaluates, and/or creates* information), e.g., John Locke: connects Locke s idea of a social contract theory, the theory of natural rights, and the consent of the governed to the growing discontent with absolutism, specifically under the rule of Charles II and James II, the creation of a constitutional monarchy in England, and the application of Locke s ideas to the American Revolution and the French Revolution; Karl Marx: connects Marx s emphasis on the exploitation of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie, the conditions created by the Industrial Revolution, and the inevitability that class struggle would cause communist revolutions to the economic and political conditions in Russia in 1917 and Lenin s efforts to apply Marx s ideas during the Bolshevik Revolution Richly supports the theme with relevant facts, examples, and details, e.g., John Locke: divine right; Enlightenment; Second Treatise on Government; life, liberty, and property ; Glorious Revolution; English Bill of Rights; Declaration of Independence; Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen; Karl Marx: materialism; Das Kapital; Communist Manifesto; World War I; peace, land, and bread ; Red Army; 1917 Revolutions Demonstrates a logical and clear plan of organization; includes an introduction and a conclusion that are beyond a restatement of the theme Score of 4: Develops all aspects of the task but may do so somewhat unevenly by discussing all aspects of the task for one individual more thoroughly than for the second individual or by discussing one aspect of the task less thoroughly than the other aspects of the task Is both descriptive and analytical (applies, analyzes, evaluates, and/or creates* information), e.g., John Locke: discusses Locke s idea that the purpose of government was to protect people s natural rights and if the government refused to do this, the people had the right to overthrow the government, relating how these ideas led to Locke s rejection of absolute monarchy prevalent in western Europe and to the French Revolution and its effects; Karl Marx: discusses Marx s prediction of violent revolution as a result of the poor working conditions caused by the Industrial Revolution, relating this to the political situation and increasing labor unrest in Russia that led to the rise of Lenin and revolutions in 1917 Supports the theme with relevant facts, examples, and details Demonstrates a logical and clear plan of organization; includes an introduction and a conclusion that are beyond a restatement of the theme Score of 3: Develops all aspects of the task with little depth or develops at least four aspects of the task in some depth Is more descriptive than analytical (applies, may analyze and/or evaluate information) Includes some relevant facts, examples, and details; may include some minor inaccuracies Demonstrates a satisfactory plan of organization; includes an introduction and a conclusion that may be a restatement of the theme Note: If all aspects of the task are thoroughly developed evenly and in depth for one individual and if the response meets most of the other Level 5 criteria, the overall response may be a Level 3 paper. Global Hist. & Geo. Rating Guide Aug. 17 [4] Vol. 1

29 Score of 2: Minimally develops all aspects of the task or develops at least three aspects of the task in some depth Is primarily descriptive; may include faulty, weak, or isolated application or analysis Includes few relevant facts, examples, and details; may include some inaccuracies Demonstrates a general plan of organization; may lack focus; may contain digressions; may not clearly identify which aspect of the task is being addressed; may lack an introduction and/or a conclusion Score of 1: Minimally develops some aspects of the task Is descriptive; may lack understanding, application, or analysis Includes few relevant facts, examples, or details; may include inaccuracies May demonstrate a weakness in organization; may lack focus; may contain digressions; may not clearly identify which aspect of the task is being addressed; may lack an introduction and/or a conclusion Score of 0: Fails to develop the task or may only refer to the theme in a general way; OR includes no relevant facts, examples, or details; OR includes only the theme, task, or suggestions as copied from the test booklet; OR is illegible; OR is a blank paper *The term create as used by Anderson/Krathwohl, et al. in their 2001 revision of Bloom s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives refers to the highest level of the cognitive domain. This usage of create is similar to Bloom s use of the term synthesis. Creating implies an insightful reorganization of information into a new pattern or whole. While a Level 5 paper will contain analysis and/or evaluation of information, a very strong paper may also include examples of creating information as defined by Anderson and Krathwohl. All sample student essays in this rating guide are presented in the same cursive font while preserving actual student work, including errors. This will ensure that the sample essays are easier for raters to read and use as scoring aids. Raters should continue to disregard the quality of a student s handwriting in scoring examination papers and focus on how well the student has accomplished the task. The content-specific rubric should be applied holistically in determining the level of a student s response. Global Hist. & Geo. Rating Guide Aug. 17 [5] Vol. 1

30 Anchor Paper Thematic Essay Level 5 A Throughout history, people who are not government leaders have been able to make a significant impact on a society. They did not need political power to influence a region, but rather were able to use their intellect, ardent beliefs and writing to change the way people think. Two people who perfectly examplify this are Martin Luther and Galileo Galilei. Despite a humble start to life, Martin Luther was able to become one of the most influencial individuals in history. At the time, the Catholic Church was very powerful, and considered by some, quite corrupt. Martin Luther was a monk and was apalled by the coruption, in particular, the selling of indulgences by the church. The church had told people that buying an indulgence would lead to a reduction of time in purgatory and was using the money to build St. Peters Basilica. Outraged, Luther wrote his 95 theses, which listed his complaints about the church. The theses were quickly made into pamphlets using the recently developed printing press and circulated around Europe quickly, gaining Luther fame and followers. Luther officially broke off from the church after refusing to recant his criticisms, leading to the beginning of Protestantism, and a theology that would affect Europe and the world. Luther s ideas stressed an individual relationship with God and simplicity in the ceremonies of Luther s reformed church. Luther rejected the authority of the Pope and the role of the priest and stressed that salvation came by faith alone. While hiding from the authorities, he translated the Bible into German which went along with the notion that people should be able to read the Bible on their own. Martin Luther went against the church and survived. He laid the foundation for Lutheranism and this led to Global Hist. & Geo. Rating Guide Aug. 17 [6] Vol. 1
