Class procedures 6th Grade Social Studies
What do I need for class? • Planner • Pencil • Folder • Textbook • Homework • Positive attitude
What do I do at the beginning of class? • Come in and get to your seat quietly. • Make sure that your pencil is sharpened. • Go to the bathroom if necessary at the beginning of class. • Get any work you might have missed during the previous class. • Put your homework from the night before on the top right corner of your desk. • Do your bell-work on the board.
What does a typical day look like? • After everyone completes the bell work and the homework is checked, we go over the bell work. • The lesson for the day begins. This is different every day. • Complete a T.O.D. at the end of the day as you walk out the door. • If your pencil needs sharpened or you need a drink, you can do so without asking. Just please go around the back of the room and remain quiet.
What will we learn this year? • American Colonies • American Revolutionary War • American Civil War • World War I • The Roaring Twenties • The Great Depression • World War II • Korean and Vietnam War • War on Terror • And much more!!
What will be graded? • Homework • Tests/Writing Prompts • Projects • Weekly Journal • Preparation and Participation * Grades are posted after every big assignment on the cupboards. You need to find your school ID number and then you can find your grade.
Homework • Each homework assignment is worth 5 points. • Most homework will be to define definitions. • It will be checked at the beginning of class. • All late or incomplete homework will be accepted, however, you will receive 3/5 for these assignments
Tests/Writing Prompts • You will be given a test and writing prompt every 1-2 chapters, depending on the content. • We will have a review game in class the day before each test, and you will be given a study guide the night before each test with ALL the information you need to know. • You will not be allowed to use your notes. • There are 25 matching and multiple choice questions on each test worth 2 points each for a total of 50 points. • The writing prompt is usually graded FCOSC and is worth 20 points for a total of 70 points for each test. • You can make up a failing test by coming to me for a copy of the test and correcting those that you missed for ½ credit.
Projects • You will have a few projects this year. • All but the last will be done in groups of my choosing. • You will have class time to work on the projects. • ½ of your grade will be a group grade-everyone in the group gets the same grade. • ½ of your grade will be an individual grade- this comes from how well YOU did as an individual.
Weekly Journal • You will receive a journal today. • Each Monday you need to turn in a journal entry. • Write it like you are a person living in the time period you learned about the previous week. • You need to write at least four sentences for each one. • It is worth 10 points each.
Preparation/Respect • Every student starts out with 100 Prep./Respect points. • If you forget your book, homework, notebook, or pencil, you will loose a point. • If you forget to be respectful that day (rude, talking when I’m talking), you loose a point as well. • There are 100 points per marking period.
I think you will find this class to be very informative, interesting, and fun!!
