• This is an Honors-level class.  Maturity is expected.  Grades of A or B are also expected.  Students who do C or below work will be expected to sign a contract stating how they will raise their grade in a specific time period.  This will be signed by a parent/guardian, the student, the teacher and an administrator.  Improper behavior will also result in a Behavior Contract being written and agreed to by the student, parent/guardian, teacher and an administrator. 

Success

Our common goal is your success.  I will do my part to prepare you to succeed by being prepared every day myself.  Note taking will help you learn the material and also give you a study tool.  Class discussion and other in-class activities will help make the material relevant.  Before tests, a review sheet containing all information on test will be given to students.  Review Jeopardy will be played the day before a test to firmly set the material in your brain.  Students are allowed to retake quizzes and tests UP TO ONE WEEK after their first attempt.  The grades of the original and re-test will be averaged.  Students may make up work up to ONE WEEK after it is due for half credit.  Then all work becomes a zero.    You can also check your grade any time from home on Powerschool. 

·         Staple this syllabus into your notebook. It is worth ten points.  If it is loose in the notebook, it will be a zero. 

·         Keep this and the Reading List in your flap in notebook.  They are both part of your grade.

1.        Present a Powerpoint telling the basic plot, theme, and premise of the book, as well as a brief biography of the author, and tell how the book affected the development of Western Civilization.  If the book is a biography, tell how the individual affected the history of Western Civilization from both the author’s point of view and your own.

2.       Create a tri-fold display about the book, showing illustrations and listing the main points and ideas of the book, as well as why the book was/is important to Western Civilization.

4.       Select your own method of presenting, and get it approved by Mr. Morris
