Students will understand the diverse cultures and ethnic groups that contributed to the making of America’s social fabric, and understand the political developments of American democracy. During the course of the year students will be given one major project per nine weeks. These projects will vary according to the content that is being covered.. A = 100% - 90% B = 89% - 80% C = 79% - 70% D = 69% - 60% F = 59% - 0% Grade Breakdown Course Outline Test / Quizzes 30% (chapter test, projects, section quizzes) Daily Grades 50% (bellwork, workbooks, group work, participation) Benchmarks 20% (semester exams)  Washington Presidency, Louisiana Purchase, War of 1812, Jacksonian Democracy, Indian Removal Unit 1: Beginnings of American History Unit 4: The Nation Expands and Changes  Colonial settlement and politics Unit 2: Forming a New Nation  The North, The South, Manifest Destiny, Mexican-American War  The American Revolution and the Constitution Unit 5: Civil War and Reunion Unit 3: The New Republic  Election of 1860, Abraham Lincoln, Civil War, Emancipation Proclamation What do I do if I am absent? Always check the class calendar and chalkboard for assignments and test dates. A student has two extra days to turn in any work assigned on a day a student was absent. If a quiz was administered on a day a student was absent, the quiz must be made up on the first day the student returns. If a test was administered on a day a student was absent, the test must be made up within two days of returning to school. If previously assigned work was due on the day of the absence, the work is due on the first day the student returns otherwise it is considered late and will only receive 70% credit. Supplies All mandatory supplies are provided Supplies you might want to purchase Coloring supplies Book Cover Supplies that would be greatly appreciated if donated Kleenex Hand sanitizer What happens if I turn in an assignment late? Work not completed and turned in by the assigned date is considered late. If a student is absent on the date work is due, the assignment is due the first day the student returns to school. COMPLETED LATE WORK will only receive partial credit (70% of the assignment total). INCOMPLETE LATE WORK will not be graded and will result in a zero for the assignment. courtneywilson@mooreschools.com (405) 735-4600 1
