Government Syllabus (Fall 2021)

Mr. Mann

Course Description:

This course provides an in-depth study of the American political system. It focuses on the foundation, principles and structure of the American system of government; examines the roles of political parties and social factors as they relate to the role of the citizen; and analyzes the decision-making processes that are a part of the system of American political behavior. This course meets the state’s Citizenship/Government requirement for graduation.

Grading Policy:

30% of the course grade = Formative Assessments

Examples of this are USA Test Prep assignments, vocabulary, chapter section notes & PowerPoints, and quizzes.

70% of the course grade = Summative Assessments

These are summative tests (chapter and USA Test Prep tests) and projects that demonstrate mastery of a standard.

This is a one semester course.

No eating in class unless social distancing is possible (exception is 5^th period since we will be eating in our classroom as a class every other week.)

No cheating (for example using your phone to Google answers during a test) or turning in work that is not your own. Honor the Honor Code.

Please, communicate with me if you are having problems ASAP and don’t be afraid to ask for help. We are living in a pandemic, and we all need to all flexible and work together.
