Textbook World History (Holt)
Required Materials Pencils, paper, notebook, colored pencils
Students will be studying world history from ancient civilizations through the renaissance. Instruction will include direct instruction, guided practice, independent practice, and group work. Students will sometimes work in cooperative groups to complete in-class activities. In order to make group learning successful for everyone, the following rules of cooperative behavior must be understood and followed.
Cooperative Group Responsibilities
1. Everyone has the responsibility to listen carefully and with respect to others in the group. Encourage all group members to participate in the discussions.
2. Everyone has the responsibility to help others in the group when asked.
3. Do not change your mind unless you are logically persuaded. Reach consensus, not majority rule.
4. Everyone has the responsibility to prepare themselves to be the best teacher by completing individual work as an individual so that it accurately measures your own knowledge and understanding of the concepts and your own ability to communicate that knowledge.
5. No one has the right to ask a classmate to share his or her written work.
Grading
Grades will be based on effort and achievement. Students will be expected to read a section of the textbook for homework each night and will take a short quiz over the content of the section at the beginning of class each day. Students will also have written homework each evening, usually covering important vocabulary. Homework will be checked at the beginning of class for accuracy. Students will be given a test at the end of each chapter. Homework and quiz problems are worth 1 point each. Tests are worth 2 points per question. Students will be given the opportunity to correct missed test problems for 1 point per question.
Behavior Expectations
School is a place to learn. Students need an environment free of distraction and excessive noise to read, listen, process information, work, and learn. In order for this to happen, all students must respect God, other students and adults, property, school rules, and themselves. Students should be prepared for class with all necessary books, supplies, and assignments when class begins. Behavior that violates this respect will result in loss of privileges. All students deserve a quality education and therefore no student will be allowed to deprive others of their education by disrupting the learning environment.
Hall Passes
In order to learn it is important that students are in class. Students are expected to take care of their personal bathroom needs before school, at lunchtime, and at designated times between classes. However, there are times when a student may need to leave the classroom for an emergency trip to the bathroom, office, or another classroom. In the event of such an emergency, students should make sure the teacher knows they are leaving by signaling her with words, a nod or a wave as they exit the classroom.
7th & 8th Grade Geography
Geography class will meet once a week. Students will use the Five Themes of Geography to learn about and better understand the world’s people and places past and present. Students will label and color a variety of maps and will complete six student activity sheets each quarter using the Nystrom Desk Atlas. Assignments will be graded for accuracy. Colored pencils are a necessity.
