This syllabus will outline the units of study for the year, my classroom expectations, and information that will help to make you successful in this class. Please ask questions and see me for help as needed. Curriculum: The content of this class is determined by the California State Content Standards for seventh grade. Listed below are the major units that will be assessed this year.

We will also be using primary sources as well as historical fiction, current events and multimedia images to explore World History. Course Policies and Grading: PROCEDURES: Always bring required supplies with you daily - pencil, pen, Interactive Notebook, colored pencils, highlighters. GRADING: Student letter grades are based on the Roseville City School District grading policy of 90% summative and 10% formative.

If you are absent on the day that something is due, you will be required to turn it in on the day that you return. If you are absent and miss receiving an assignment, please see my website for homework. Please see me regarding any extended absences. If you know in advance you will be absent please request your work in advance. HOMEWORK: Homework will be assigned periodically in this class. Most will be during the week.

You are required to keep an interactive notebook for this class. ASSESSMENTS: You will complete assessments during each unit of study. Assessments may take the forms of a test, quiz, written assignment or culminating project. Assessments for each unit will be based on state standards. Students who score below 75% may have the opportunity to re-take an assessment. Retakes must be discussed with me and retake requirements must be met. PARTICIPATION: Students are expected to be an active participant in class. You should be actively involved in class discussions, group assignments, partner work and role-plays.

Assignments considered “major” include unit projects, art projects, research papers, and multi-media presentations.

These are in place to ensure all students have the educational opportunities they deserve. Students will: Come to class with a positive attitude, ready to learn and participate.
