BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT INFO

 

Here are just some of the areas we will be learning about in class this year:

 

  • American War for Independence
  • The Constitution and Early Republic
  • Jacksonian Democracy
  • Slavery
  • Manifest Destiny
  • Civil War and Reconstruction
  • War with Native Americans
  • Industrialization/Urbanization

 

 

Through reading (Primary Source material), class discussions, and a steady use of technology (PowerPoint, Videos, Films), students will learn about the important people, places, and events that helped form the foundation of our country today.

 

Student Expectation:  Students are expected to come to class prepared every day, including something to write with, a folder/binder, their school-issued chromebook, and be ready to participate.

 

Grading: Weighted Categories- Points

-  The following assignment types will account for 85% of students’ grades each marking period:

-          Tests: 100 points each 

-          Quizzes: Varying Points

-          Projects:  Varying Points

-          Classwork: 20-30 points

 

 

 

-  Quarterly Assessments will account for 15% of students’ marking period grades.

-           “Quarterlies” will be given at the end of each marking period.  Quarterly Assessments will be one cumulative test for that specific quarter only.

 

There is no set number of Total Points given for each marking period. However, I try to give 3 tests per quarter. All other categories are variable.
