Chromebooks: It is a requirement that all students in my history  class have a district provided Chromebook. I use certain features on my tests that are not accessible from their personal devices. Please be sure to contact help@brandon.k12.mi.us to schedule a pick up if you do not already have one. 

Grades: Grades are being updated weekly. If you want to check if work is being done by your student you can check their google classroom to see what has been turned in and what is missing. The actual grade your student has in the class will be reflected in Mi-Star and updates weekly. Please keep in mind, if a student turns in an assignment late, that assignment will not be graded or posted until the next grading cycle. 

AIM:  Students in this course will be working to regain credit in one of the following areas: English 9A, English 9B, English 10A, English 10B or English Elective.  The class content will be reliant on students past experiences with texts offered in our district.

U.S. History: Students are beginning their work in post reconstruction US History. We will be looking at the expansion of the United States and the impact (both positive and negative) it had on our enviornment and particular groups of people. 

World History:  We are currently navigating through the growth of permenant civilizations. Students will understand the elements neccessary for successful civilizations and the contributions they made to future civilizations.
