What is this guy all about? I view education as a partnership. Learning is a shared goal and a shared responsibility. Come to class ready to accomplish something everyday. I create opportunities for success – please take them!!
What are the expectations in this classroom? Be on time, be prepared, be polite, know your role, and don’t pack up early.
What will I need for this class?Three ring binder for class handouts and readings ($1.50). One subject spiral notebook for journal entries ($.75 –$2.50). Work ethic, integrity, and an open mind (priceless).
What will we be doing this semester? This course will examine important individuals, ideas, and events that have contributed to the development of the American character. Each student is required to take the NYS Regents exam in June 2014.
How will we be doing it? My approach to the study of history includes a mix of lectures, class discussions, station activities, web quests, and group presentations. Variety is the spice of life.
How will I be graded? Your grades will be divided into two categories. Your summative grades (60%) will include all major exams and Take Home Tests. Your formative (40%) will include all homework, journals, and quizzes>
