Honors Global Studies I Teacher: Mr. Mark Hladek Course: Global Studies I Honors Carnegie Unit: 1 *Meets A/B day Textbook: World History: Patterns of Interaction (McDougal Littell) Room: E-216 Phone: 881-8200 ext. 23946 Email: [email protected] Website: http://wando.ccsdschools.com Course Content: During the year, the students will explore World History from its beginning through the Age of Exploration. World Geography will also be emphasized throughout each period of history. Students will explore political, economic, and social topics in traditional classroom settings as well as in groups. Primary and secondary sources such as maps, graphs, charts, timelines, tables, diagrams, paintings, letters, and multimedia sources will be examined. Students will use information to discern position, opinion and bias, recognize cause and effect, make generalizations and inferences, evaluate relevance, identify differences and similarities, evaluate decisions and course of action, think critically, and recognize problems and solutions. Students will express information by writing outlines, summarizing informational sources, writing paragraphs, theses, and a research paper; and presenting to an audience.

Communication with parents: If you ever need me, I can be reached at 881-8200 ext. 23946 or by email at [email protected]. If you would like a conference, you should call the school at 881-8200 and request an appointment through the guidance department. If you want to know what is going on in the class, I also post online a calendar for homework, quizzes, and tests. It is through SharpSchool at http://wando.ccsdschools.com. My powerpoint notes can also be accessed from this website. Class Rules: As I firmly believe that lifelong success depends on self-discipline, I have developed a Classroom Discipline Plan that affords every student the opportunity to manage his or her own behavior. Each student deserves the most positive educational climate possible for academic growth. Therefore, this plan will be in effect at all times. Rules: 1. Follow the three P’s: a. …be prompt; be on time (when the bell rings) b. …be prepared: have all materials needed for class c. …be polite: respect your school, its members and yourself 2. Follow directions the first time they are given. 3. Keep the classroom clean. Consequences: 1. Warning (unless a major offense is committed) 2. Student/Teacher Conference 3. Student/Teacher conference with phone call to parent 4. Administrative referral Each student must also follow the rules in the Student Handbook. If a student is severely disruptive, an administrator will be called to the classroom. It should also be noted that I reinforce students who behave appropriately. Cheating: (Giving or receiving information of ANY work) 0 for that grade, phone call to parent, and administrative referral *This includes borrowing homework and/or classwork unless allowed by me. Cell Phone Policy: Cell phones are to be powered off during school hours. In the event that a cell phone goes off during class or a student is caught texting, taking pictures, etc. during class, the phone will be sent to an administrator. Parents will have to pick it up from the administrator. Make up work: This is completely the student’s responsibility. An assignment sheet will be given out for each unit with the details for homework, quizzes, and tests. Students should check the assignment sheet for what they missed. When the student returns, he or she should pick up the missed handouts in the folder and make arrangements with the teacher to complete any tests or quizzes. All work must be made up in a six-day period. Extenuating circumstances will be considered individually. Homework: This is a fast-paced, in-depth study of World History. Because of this, it is important that each student keep excellent notes, complete all assignments, and read each evening. It should be noted that an assignment sheet will be given out at the beginning of each unit of study. Tardies: Each student is expected to be on time for class. The consequences for being tardy are explained in the student handbook.
