  6. My Philosophy • Every child can pass this class • Every child has the ability to learn • Juniors need to learn to speak for themselves and make mistakes • The student who doesn’t pass with an A, B, or C is the student who fails to do all required readings, doesn’t work in their group, and doesn’t study! • They CHOSE to take this course.

  7. Work • Homework is every night, including weekends • Outlining chapter notes and primary source documents • Soon I will add in Chapter summaries and essays • Time? 1-2 hours per night • Students need to learn to manage their time – LATE work is not accepted • In class – lecture, discussions, activities, movies, projects
