US HISTORY AND GOVERNMENT 11 HONORS - 02310 - 1 CREDIT *
Prerequisite: Teacher Recommendation
Credit: Social Studies
Description: The course is similar to the above described US History and Government 11 Regents class, with the following differences: Honors-level work differs from Regents-level work in that it involves learning a greater and more in-depth amount of content. The course requires reading and interpreting documents, charts, graphs, and cartoons that are written/drawn at a level above that of a Regents-level course. Honors work means that students are expected to read, write, and make judgments/assessments at a level which is beyond that of a Regents-level course. At the conclusion of this course, the students will take the US History Regents exam in June.
