Textbook • We will be using the Civics Today textbooks • These books MUST stay inside of the classroom • If you need one for home, I will check a book out to you • Books are in new condition and should remain that way
Beginning Class • When you walk into the room you will get a DoNow and SILENTLY work on it at your desk • If you complete your DoNow, you will then read from your SSR book • Homework must be placed on the corner of your desk • All other belongings must be UNDER your chair, not in the aisles
Beginning Class • When I call class to attention, we will review the DoNow • We will then review the homework • New lesson will be introduced • Individual/partner/group time • Exit ticket/review • Homework
Homework • Homework must be completed by the time you walk into class • Homework must be placed on desk • Do not work on ANY homework in class • If you work on any other homework from another class I will throw it away • Homework must be legible • Must be in COMPLETE SENTENCES
Projects • We will complete roughly 2 projects per quarter. • These projects are a large part of your grade • You MUST be here to support your group/team • Everyone is expected to participate and work on the projects • Projects are not able to be made up
Tests/Quizzes • There will be weekly quizzes • You are responsible for making up missed quizzes • There will be 3 major Unit tests throughout the year • A test review will be given before unit tests • Keep ALL work to use to study from before tests
Portfolio/Essays • You will complete 4 major essays • You will complete 2 portfolio essays, 1 in the 2nd quarter and one in the 4th quarter • Each essay comes after completing a major project, so it is important that you are here and participate in the project • Portfolio essays will be completed within 7 days of being assigned.
Using the Restroom • If you need to use the restroom, we will use the “restroom” hand sign. • Try not to ask when I am giving instructions • Use your MCP • If you do not have anymore MCPs left, it will cost you 1 demerit to use the restroom • If you really need to go then make sure you get my attention (silently)
