Grading:

Grading for this course is broken up into three categories: Summative Assessments, Class Work, & Citizenship. Research shows that the 3rd most powerful tool for student learning is Self Reporting Grades.  It only ranks behind the first and second most powerful factors for student learning: high expectations and effective instruction.  Self Assessing is a major element of this course and all students are required to know what they are supposed to learn, identify where they are in the process of learning, and identify to what degree they were successful in meeting the standards.  All work will only be graded once students have self assessed their learning.  Failing to self assess will result in a zero for that assignment.


Summative Assessments

Summative Assessments measure the mastery of standards and skills and they are worth 50% of the total grade and every unit will have at least one summative assessment. Examples of these types of assignments would be projects, essays, research papers, debates, and presentations.


Class Work

All work that’s not summative assessment will fall into the class work category worth 35% of the total grade.  Generally all class work will be assigned in class where students will usually have enough time to complete the assigned work.  There may be some instances where homework will be assigned but those instances are few and far between.  However, in the event that the safety recommendations require adjustments, this class could be subject to require more work at home in order to satisfy safety requirements.  The majority of the work assigned will be in the form of Daily Worksheets (DW) that students will access through Google Classroom.  Aside from a few exceptions summatives and class work will be due by 3:00 on the last day of the quarter. If the work has already been graded students are able to resubmit the work to have it re-graded but they must email the teacher and include the link to the assignment that they want re-graded.


Citizenship

Citizenship Points are points that are used to reward students for thinking and acting on behalf of their community and they are worth 15% of their total grade.  These points will be given when students behave appropriately and they will be taken when students act inappropriately or against the interests of the community. Students will need to earn 3 citizenship points per day to get full credit.  If students attend class and are on task they will receive the 3 citizenship points that they need to get full credit.  Students must be present to earn citizenship points and students who are absent must make those points up if they choose to get full credit.   Students will be given additional points for participating in class, helping out their classmates,cleaning and maintaining the classroom, helping their school and or helping their community.  Citizenship points will be removed for being off task, breaking classroom procedures, not maintaining the class and equipment properly, and for failing to bring the required items such as their planner and school ID.

Course Description:

This course is the World History Social Studies graduation requirement.  This class is designed to cover the content standards thematically while focusing on the development of 21st century skills.  Students will be expected to master the following standards and skills listed below.  This class is discussion based and students will make connections between the content that they are learning and their own personal lives.  This way, students develop multiple perspectives, empathy for those who see differently, as well as a more intricate understanding of the world they live in. This class will require students to read and view texts that discuss topics that range from the bloody campaigns of the Ottoman Empire to the brutality of trench warfare in world war 1.  As a result, students will be engaging and discussing material that can be controversial in nature.  With that being said, it is important that they are allowed to develop these nuanced understandings of government, power, and culture through critical thinking and intellectually safe discourse.


Disclaimer: This syllabus is for school year 2020 to 2021 during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic.  As safety recommendations are provided this class along with the school year will adapt in every aspect necessary to provide the safe learning environment that your student and his or her family deserve.
