In order to explore American History this class will look at American History thematically. In other words, instead of starting at the very beginning of American History and finishing with the most recent events in our history, we will look at U.S. history from the perspective of five different sets of smaller compelling questions.
90-100% A
80-89% B

PowerSchool is the official record of student grades. Check it regularly!
Due dates will be made clear on Google Classroom
Late work will be accepted at any point during the unit it is assigned. Until the late assignment is submitted, it will be a 0 in PowerSchool. After the unit is complete, late work from that unit will no longer be accepted.
Overall grades will be counted by total points (not weighted by different categories of work)
Any form of cheating/plagiarism will result in an automatic zero
Let me know beforehand if you know you will be absent, so I can explain what you will miss
It is your responsibility to find out what you missed while you were absent. "I wasn't there the day we learned that" is not a valid excuse. All of our course materials will be on Google Classroom for you to complete at another time.
