World History grading policy 2019-2020


Grading policy:

   Classwork:    25%
  Tests and Quizzes:  60%

Bring a good attitude, a three ring binder, and something to write with to class every day. 

Homework Policy The Plymouth School Department considers homework an integral part of the academic curriculum. Homework provides an opportunity for reinforcement and expansion of classroom learning and is essential in teaching students’ accountability and responsibility. Homework typically consists of, but is not limited to, reading, skill development activities, writing assignments, and other appropriate learning tasks. Homework is monitored by teachers and is factored into student evaluation. Students should expect homework most every night. Families should establish a routine that sets aside home study time every day. Assignments should be written down. Agenda books are helpful for this purpose and are provided to each student. Extras are available for purchase at each school.

Outside extra credit reading can add up to 5% each quarter to your final average.
Nonfiction and historical fiction will be worth more points. 
The book must be discussed with me and a short writing assignment must be completed before points are added to your grade.   The book and discussion must be completed before the last week of the term to get credit for that term. 

Book Theme:  Power, Conflict/Compromise, Change, and Connection/Relevance to today.

Guiding questions for the year :  
 1. Does man make the history or does the history make the man? 
 2.   If you were to rank the most important issues for society how would you rank:  prosperity, security and freedom?  Which of the choices is the responsibility of the government?  Which is the responsibility of the citizens? 
3.  What is the rule of law?  How did it develop and why is it important?
