Text: World History – Holt McDougal

Needed Materials: Binder, loose-leaf paper, black or blue pens

(notes should be written in ink)

Course Description: This course offers an in-depth study of history, geography and cultures of selected civilizations from the Western and non-Western worlds. It will also emphasize major turning points in the development of the modern world. The course will also highlight map skills so students will understand the origins and evolutions of many existing civilizations.

Assessment: Students will receive grades for in-class assignment, activities, and homework. Selected homework assignments will be returned to you. You should keep daily assignments in your three-ring binder. These assignments will make up a portfolio that will help you to prepare for tests, quizzes, midterms, and ultimately the final.

Absent?

It is your duty to get notes from a classmate, consult the homework board online and handout table for missed assignments. Consult me if you need to make up a

missed quiz, test, or writing assignment. I will not chase you to complete make-up work. It is your responsibility to schedule a time to make up work done in class during your absence, and your responsibility to remember to show up if a makeup quiz or test is scheduled.

Late Work: Late assignments will not be accepted. The only exception is if a student is ill or on an approved school activity, or any other legitimate excused absence. Late work will not be accepted from students without a valid excuse. I do not give extra credit assignments to students who waste opportunities to do the work at the appropriate time. However, I occasionally put extra credit questions into tests, and in-class assignments. Expectations for this Course:

- Student

1. The student will be on time and on task at every session.

2. The student will complete the assigned readings prior to coming to class.

3. The student will complete the assigned written exercises prior to coming to class.

4. The student will bring the binder or notebook to every session.

5. The student will show printed progress reports to the parent.

Tests and Homework:

I will post all testing dates online. Test will always be given on Monday or Tuesday depending on the time your class is scheduled. Please be advised I give two tests a month within the nine week marking period. Homework will also be posted at the beginning of the week. Students that are active in extracurricular activities or just want to start the work early will have the opportunity to complete assignments before the due date.

*I do occasionally give pop quizzes so please do your homework.
