Textbook
Modern World History: GLOBE FEARON (PACEMAKER) WORLD HISTORY
WEBSITE: KHAN ACADEMY
Required Daily Materials
1. Textbook (unless otherwise instructed)
2. Binder (at least 2 inches) with dividers
3. Loose leaf notebook paper
4. Blue or black pen and/or pencil
5. COMPUTER
Note-Taking and Binders
Success in history relies heavily on accurate and legible note taking. Note taking
is a difficult skill to master; however, it is an integral part of the high school and college
classroom. You will not have time to write every word from lectures, presentations, or
even the textbook. Make sure to look for main ideas or points in both class discussions
and readings. Please refer to the note-taking handout whenever format questions arise.
Success in history this year also depends on your ability to keep an organized
binder. Binder checks will occur at least twice a quarter in order to ensure that all
necessary materials are being properly organized. Keeping an organized binder will not
only help you succeed but it is also a great way to boost your overall grade!
Graded Assignments
Graded assignments include but are not limited to:
1. Tests/Quizzes
2. Homework
3. In class assignments
4. Group Work
5. Projects
My grading system is very simple—the total number of points you receive divided
by the total possible points for those assignments. Participation in class discussions will
also be taken into consideration come the end of the grading period. The grading scale
is as follows:
100-90 A
89-80 B
79-70 C
69-60 D
Below 59 F
Late/Absent Work
Every student is required to turn in all homework, projects, and other
assignments due that day at the beginning of the class period. If you are absent it is
your responsibility to make up the homework, notes, in-class assignments, readings,
etc…that you have missed. Please do not hesitate to ask questions regarding content
that you do not understand or need clarification in the directions of an assignment.
According to the student handbook, if you are absent from class you must have
an excused absence to make-up work for full credit. You will have the exact number of
days absent to make up the work. If you are absent on the day of a test or quiz
arrangements will need to be made for make-up during lunch, before or after school.
Any further questions about related school policies please see the student
handbook.
