Mr. Trifu

Welcome to 7th Grade Civics and Economics! Brace yourself for a challenging year of what we hope will contain many positive educational experiences for you. Here's where you begin to understand and improve the world!

For the month of December (before the end of the semester), students will finish a unit on our Federal Legislature and then learn about our Federal Judiciary. They will be able to distinguish between the different levels and functions of our Federal Court System. Then we will take some time to study the Highest Court in the nation and sample some of their most consequential rulings.

Civics tutoring will be available for struggling students in room 226 from 3:30 - 4:00 just about every other Wednesday (towards the second half of each quarter). It is recommended that struggling students attend these tutoring sessions in an effort to raise their low Civics average. Here are the remaining dates for the first semester: 11/5, 11/19, and 12/10.

Supplies to have everyday for all my Civics classes:

Pocket folder; blue/black pen or pencil; blank, lined, loose leaf paper (along with a charged chromebook)
