Hello, and welcome to Middle School History! Here we will examine a number of different topics, depending on your grade level as your scholars enter a new, higher standard of learning. History is more than just dates and events: it is the examination of why and how humans have grown, succeeded, and failed in our development as a species. We will spend the year looking at what has made us unique, different, yet also the same over the past thousands of years. From Ancient Mesopotamia, to the advancement of the United States into a world superpower, history will be used this year as a way to understand the most important of questions: what is a human, and what has brought us here to this moment?
Four Major Skills For History Classrooms
Four Major Skills For History Classrooms
Citing Evidence: Without evidence for support, how do you know something is useful or correct?
Navigating Controversy: History is muddy, and sometimes not always pretty to look at- this muddiness is needed to be examined for us to be better than what we were in the past
Connecting to Time Periods: History looks at multiple time periods; most if not all are far different from us today
Acknowledging Multiple Viewpoints: History is never one-sided or black and white; there will always be grey areas to examine

Academic Honesty Statement and Definitions:
To quote Lumen Learning: "Academic Honesty" means demonstrating and upholding the highest integrity and honesty in all the academic work that you do. In short, it means doing your own work and not cheating, and not presenting the work of others as your own.
Cheating can take the form of crib notes, looking over someone’s shoulder during an exam, or any forbidden sharing of information between students regarding an exam or exercise.
Deception is providing false information to an instructor concerning an academic assignment. Examples of this include taking more time on a take-home test than is allowed, giving a dishonest excuse when asking for a deadline extension, or falsely claiming to have submitted work.
Fabrication is the falsification of data, information, or citations in an academic assignment. This includes making up citations to back up arguments or inventing quotations.
Plagiarism, as defined in the 1995 Random House Compact Unabridged Dictionary, is the “use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one’s own original work.”
If a student does any of these actions, they will take a zero on the assignment along with:
Having their parents contacted and informed of the concern
Administration notified of the problem as well
