World History

Course Syllabus

Welcome to World History! I am excited to have the opportunity to work with you over the course of the semester. In World History We will examine all aspects of society including politics, economics, culture, and foreign affairs to understand the history of the World. Equally as important, we will learn to read critically, write clearly, think broadly, and speak purposefully. Acquiring and improving each of these skills is necessary to become a productive citizen, and we will tackle these tasks in ways that are challenging but also exciting!

Class Rules: The classroom environment should be conducive to thinking, speaking, listening, and learning. In order to create this type of environment, you must abide by the following guidelines:

· Be in class and seated when the bell rings.

· Cell phones should be turned off and put in the designated storage area.

· Be attentive to me and your classmates when they are speaking.

· Use appropriate language and discuss only topics appropriate for school.

· Dispose of trash properly.

Always remember to have respect, honor, and pride for our school.

I adhere to school-wide policies regarding cell phones, electronic devices, and tardiness/absences. For other behavioral infractions in the classroom, detention with me will be assigned.
