Assignments/Activities
Careful reading of the text and supplemental information is necessary for you to be successful in my class. Document analysis, answering document based questions, research projects, (group and individual,) supplemental readings, skill-building worksheets, and writing assignments (research essays and short papers), will be assigned throughout the year, and in conjunction with specific topics discussed. The overall effect is to develop new perspectives while you critically analyze and evaluate the events and issues that have shaped our state. All exams have LEAP-like questions to prepare you for the state test.

Academic Quality
As a student you are responsible for all assigned work in class & virtually. It is expected that any missed work will be completed in a timely fashion. Cheating/copying of work is a violation of basic trust between teacher/student and student/student. As such, it is not acceptable, and will result in major administrative and academic consequences.
Other Class Policies
Late Work is always accepted, but points may be deducted. You are responsible for getting what you missed when you return from an absence!
Again……Google Classroom is your best resource to view daily slides or see announcements & assignments.
Mrs. Stacy’s goal is to help you show growth on the LEAP test AND prepare you for high school!
