CURRICULUM

In eighth grade the students continue their study of United States history.  We begin by examining the Constitution and Bill of Rights.  From there, we look at the legacies of George Washington's presidency.  The year ends with the Civil War and its aftermath.

TO RECEIVE UPDATES ABOUT ALL OF MY 8th grade CLASSES

Please subscribe to the classroom via the Remind app.  I will often push out pictures from the classroom or reminders about deadlines.  Remind is also an efficient method of parent/teacher communication if you prefer to text.  To sign up, text the class code @hk997ge to 81010.  

I am reusing the code from last year.  If you subscribed to my Remind group last year, you are already included in this class.

grading

I use a points-based system for grading.  Larger assignments are worth more points, and therefore have more weight.  Students will receive rubrics for projects and assessments.
