Homework Policy

  • Throughout the year students will primarily have to complete Guided Notes for homework. These assignments act as a study guide for upcoming assessments. These assignments provide students with the historical content and empowers them to come into class prepared to participate in higher-level learning activities. For a student to receive full credit on their Guided Notes Assignments they must:

      1. Answer all the questions in complete sentences

      2. Created their own form of notes

  • Students have the Choice

      1. Students will have a choice in how they complete their guided notes. They can read through a PowerPoint Presentation (available on Google Classroom and in a printed handouts) or watch an animated video.

      2. Students have a choice in how they wish to create their notes. They can choose to create an outline, flow chart, graphic organizer, or mind maps as their notes. The content in a student’s notes is not subject to grading.   

  • If homework is incomplete, students have to use the start of class to get the answers from their group members. Full credit will not be given for this assignment.
  • Make up homework

To receive partial credit, students will have to write a one paragraph summary of the guided notes.

  • 3 = 75% (one-two day late)
  • 2 = 50% (three-four days late)
  • 1 = 25% (four or more days late)
  • 0 = 0% (incomplete, student does not complete the assignment)
