COURSE DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this course is to enable students to understand the development of the United States within the context of history by providing them with a college-level learning environment. Students will use knowledge pertaining to history, geography, economics, political processes, religion, ethics, diverse cultures, and humanities to solve problems in academic, civic, social, and employment settings. In this course, you will study the broad outlines of United States history as well as the specifics: names, dates, and historical figures. For each unit, you will study political institutions, social and cultural developments, diplomacy, and economic trends for that period. One goal for the course is to provide an engaging and rigorous curriculum that motivates students. To this basic framework, a variety of activities centered on the use of and analysis of primary sources has been included. Preparing students to handle the free-response section of the AP Exam in May directs the focus for the writing component of the course. Students are required early in the first semester to write in class free response questions (FRQs) and analyze documents in preparation for writing document-base questions (DBQs).

COURSE METHODOLOGY

The method of instruction for this class will be inquiry-based. Students will generate knowledge through online readings, synchronous chats, and asynchronous discussions with students and their instructor, interactions with online tutorials, online and hands-on simulations, weekly in-class discussion, Lectures, class discussions, films, library research, internet research, group projects, cooperative learning strategies, multimedia presentations, and oral presentations will supplement the textbook in the course. Students will be taught note-taking skills of class lectures and discussions, as well as of all textbook reading. The students will be assessed periodically at the end of each unit by chapter/unit tests, essay assignments, homework and classwork assignments, notebook checks, projects, oral presentations, and group work. Students will learn how to probe, question, and analyze historical documents and artifacts for their significance.

In addition, they will learn how to use sources and their own knowledge of history to persuade others through writing. Unit essays, Document Based Question (DBQ) essays, projects, and the written portion of the AP examination will test students on their mastery of these skills.

3. Student Behavior: You will be treated like a young adult, any child-like behaviors (disruptions) will not be tolerated.

4. Be Prepared: I expect you to be completely prepared for class each day. Therefore, I will not “loan” materials unless the circumstances are extreme. You are the most important class material of all. I expect you to be awake and involved every day.

5. Talking: This is a social science course. The nature of this class demands conversation and debate. However, this does not mean that you can talk whenever you desire. I encourage you to share your ideas during appropriate times. I will not tolerate disrespect or profanity.

6. Seating Chart: I may assign you a seat. Your seat assignment may change several times during the year. Be in your seat when the bell rings.

7. Bathroom Passes: Before you are permitted to leave the class, you must complete the sheet on the official hall pass clipboard. I do not plan my activities around your pass use. If you miss a portion of an activity due to your use of the pass, you will not be provided with extra time to complete the assignment. Only one individual is allowed out of the room at any given time. You may not leave the room during the first or last 15 minutes of the class period.

8. Eating / Drinking: No food, drinks, candy, gum will be allowed in class.

11. Absence Policy: You are responsible for any assignments you missed while you were out.

12. Make-Up Assignments: It is your responsibility to obtain and complete all make-up assignments missed during an excused absence. If you do not excuse your absence, you will NOT be able to make-up any missed assignments. Students will have ONE week to complete the assignment they missed, if it’s not completed within one week they will receive a “0” (zero).

13. Home learning assignments: I will collect these assignments at the beginning of class. If student does not turn them in at that time, it will be considered late and receive a “0”.

14. Late Assignments: I will not accept any late work unless student has an excused absence. Student will then receive a “0”. You will be held responsible for turning assignments in on time.

15. Student Dismissal: Students will not be able to leave my class unless you are picked up by parent, participating in school activity, or using the restroom. Students will not be permitted to go to another teacher’s class not make up any assignments for other teachers during my class time.

16. Cheating: Plagiarism or dishonesty of any kind will not be tolerated! This includes turning in information from the Internet as your own work. Consequences of plagiarism include earning a score of “0” on the assignment, involvement of the principal and your parents, possible suspension and/or failure of the course.

STUDENT CONDUCT POLICY

If a student chooses to talk excessively, misbehave, or disrupt the learning environment, the student’s conduct grade will be affected. All students must follow the Student Code of Conduct.

ACADEMIC GRADING POLICY

Grades in this class are earned not “given”. Students will work from bell to bell. Success is a CHOICE!

|Grade |Numerical Value (%) |Verbal Interpretation |Grade Point Value |

|D |60-69 |Needs Improvement |1.0 - 1.49 |

|F |00-59 |Unsatisfactory |0 - .99 |

Grades are based on the following

Grading scale based on the set scale of Miami Dade County Schools. Grades for this class will be based on exams, quizzes, unit tests, homework assignments, class participation, projects, essays, notebook checks, and class assignments. There will be at least one major project every nine weeks. Students will have something to do for HOMEWORK EVERYDAY.

NOTE: Most assignments require students to conduct internet research.

Description of Assignments

(The information below is subject to change, teacher will notify students and parents via website.)

1. Tests: Approximately 2-3 tests will be given each nine weeks. Students will be given ample notification of their exam in order to prepare for it. Test questions will include multiple choice, short answer, fill in the blank, True and False. They will also include graphs, charts, pictures, and primary documents.

2. Quizzes: Quizzes will be given weekly or biweekly. Students will not be notified when they will take place. Keeping up with your reading, studying, actively participating during lecture notes is crucial. Quizzes are usually short answer response.

3. Projects: Several projects will be given throughout the year to complement lectures and readings. Most projects will require internet research.

4. Essays: Given frequently to measure student’s knowledge on a subject/topic.

5. Assignments: Assignments are activities designed to provide you with the opportunity to develop and practice skills that you are not yet expected to have mastered. An activity may be completed within a single class period. An activity may be completed throughout the course of several weeks. It is your obligation to use every available moment in this class to be productive.

6. Notebook/Binder Checks: Notebooks will be graded every nine weeks. Being responsible and organized is an important part of this grade. Students are given a few days notification of their Notebook/Binder Check. I will go over the order and what I expect the day I release the due date.

7. Participation: The nature of this course is based on student participation. We will be participating in Socratic circles, class debates and discussions which all are an essential part of our class. I will encourage every student to become an active citizen.

8. Learning Logs Daily learning log questions will be on the board, overhead, or projector and must be completed within the first 10-15minutes of class. Students will use their textbook (and background knowledge) to find the answer. These activities will be kept on a composition notebook and turned in when the notebook is taken for a grade (in other words, all warm-ups will be kept in numerical order in one section of your notebook.) Additionally, they will also be randomly checked each week to ensure that students are doing them each day. If students are absent, it’s their responsibility to make up the learning logs they missed.
