Course Description
This course is a study of ancient civilization up to modern society, including the foundation of human culture, government, religion and social structures through the Medieval Era, the Renaissance, the Age of Exploration, the Industrial Revolution, the World Wars and contemporary society.
World History is a core academic course for graduation. Through the study of World History, you will gain an understanding of stability and change within and across eras of time. Through this historical development, you will gain a perspective of our place as Americans in world history and the increasingly importance of diverse global connections among world societies. You will continue to develop your reading, writing, and critical thinking skills that will help you be more successful in other academic courses and provide long-term skills for life beyond high school. Simply put, we need to understand history so we can build on the good ideas and learn from the bad ones.
Grades:
A student’s course grade is calculated as follows: 60% comes from the major work assignments, 40% comes from the daily work assignments.
Major work for this course will consist of unit tests as well as major projects. Daily work will include, but will not be limited to, reading (pop) quizzes, chapter/section (announced) quizzes, written homework and classwork, and short oral class presentations. Written homework may be taken as a daily grade, may be used on an open-note quiz, or may be an ungraded assignment. This determination will be made at the time it is due – the student should treat every homework assignment as though it will be used as a basis for a grade in some way.
If you are absent
1. You should email me or contact me through Edmodo to find out what you have missed. Then come in and see me before school when you get back to get your work.
2. A Student is required to make up all assignments missed while absent. It is the responsibility of the student to ask the teacher what work has been missed when returning from and absence. A grace period equal to the number of days missed, plus one, is allowed for make-up work.
3. There are no make up quizzes…if you are absent on the day of a quiz, whatever you make on your test will replace the missing grade. The quiz grade will remain a zero until the day of the test.
4. If you are absent on the day a daily assignment is due, but you were in class when it was assigned it is due the day you come back to school.
5. If you are absent on the day of a test, you will take the test during class on the day you get back. After that, all make up tests will be taken to Ranger Success Center. You will have three days to make up the test. Any test not completed during that time will receive a grade of zero.
Late Work:
Will be graded according to the LCISD Policy on late work for the High School grades: 1 Day late: highest grade you can receive is an 80, 2 days late: highest grade you can receive is a 50, 3 days late: 0.
Reassessments/Test Corrections:
Per District and State Guidelines, I offer the students an opportunity to show that they have mastered objectives that they previously fail. These MUST be completed within TWO days of receiving the failed assignment (when it is handed back).
Daily/Minor Grades (Homework, Quizzes, In-class, etc) For an assignment that receives an F (69 or lower), the student should pick up a "Correction Form" from me. This form MUST be stapled to the front of the original assignment and COMPLETELY filled out for each question that was missed. It must be turned in within 2 days and the highest grade you will receive will be a 70.
Test/Major Grades: 1) For a test or major grade that receives a 69 (F) or lower, the student should pick up a “Correction Form” from me, or print it off from my website: www.coachlaz.weebly.com. This form MUST be turned in in order to be allowed to take the reassessment test. For tests, the “Correction Form” must be completed before school in my classroom or in Ranger Success. 2) After you have completed the “Correction Form”, you may complete the reassessment test. 3) All corrections & reassessments for test/major grades will be due by the following Wednesday, and the highest grade you can receive is a 70.
Be sure that you have studied the test that you failed, along with the review sheet, homework, worksheets, and quizzes that contained the failed objectives.
Supplies:You should bring these supplies to class everyday if you want to be successful in this class. You will be given assignments in which these supplies will be needed in order to receive a grade every six weeks.
Classroom Procedures:
1. Take care of all restroom needs before entering the classroom, you have five minutes to get class and will not be allowed to leave after the bell rings.
2. Enter the classroom, put your belongings under or on the side of your desk. The only thing that should be on your desk is what your currently working on.
3. If you want to be successful in this class you should copy the assignments on the board in your planner. If you don’t have a planner ask me, I will help you get one.
4. Cell phones/Ipods/Electronic Devices will not be visible…if I see one, I will take it up or call security to deal with it. There is a $15 fine to retrieve your electronics.
5. All class work that is going to be turned in to me is to be done in black, blue or grey unless otherwise directed.
6. When you have a question about anything (getting up, need to sharpen pencil, homework, etc.), raise your hand and sit quietly until you are called upon.
Classroom Rules:
1. Be empathetic before you make any judgments.
- Definition of Empathy:
- How do we empathize?
2. Be proactive.
3. I strictly enforce all B.F. Terry High School rules.
Penalties:
1. Warning
2. Call parent
3. Office referral
