| SEE HANDOUTS PAGE FOR SYLLABUS AND PROJECTS!!!
Homework should be done EVERY night!! Although written work or readings may
not be assigned, you should be learning about current events or history by
reading the newspaper, watching the news or educational cable television
show, researching on the internet, reviewing your notebooks, contemplating a
historical quote, developing an opinion about important issues, etc.
To find out what the formal homework assignment is, please go to the
handouts page and click on the weekly syllabus for your class. In order to
save paper, I will not give you a copy of this in class. However, if you do
not own a computer, or your computer is not working, please see me to make
other arrangements.
You should spend approximately 30 MINUTES to TWO HOURS AT LEAST thinking
about your role and your place in this world and at this moment in history.
US History classes: You will have a quiz on the fifty states every Monday
morning beginning Sept 10th. The first quiz will be on the first column of
states, second quiz - the second column, etc. A test on the location of all
fifty states will follow. Needless to say, it is your homework every night
to study in addition to other homework you have been assigned.
Civics classes: You will have a quiz every Friday morning on the 8 questions
we review each morning from the citizenship test. An entire citizenship of
100+ questions will follow at the end of the course. Needless to say, it is
your homework every night to study in addition to other homework you have
been assigned.
"The past can't be rewritten,
You get the life you're given,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,
Lessons learned."
