(1994). Current Issues in American Democracy. New York: Amsco School Publications Inc. Course Description: Contemporary Issues is a Social Studies elective designed to reinforce the research, writing, and speaking skills the students have developed at POLYTECH. Students will examine many topics and will be required to research and present information/arguments on them. Students will utilize a variety of resources and implement higher order thinking skills to make connections between ideas and evidence. Students will leave the course with a better understanding of global issues. Grading Policy: Each assignment will be given an absolute point value. Points will be subtracted from the total value for completion, accuracy, spelling, and punctuation. Late work will NOT be accepted because students will be allowed sufficient time to complete assignments in class. It is the students responsibility to ask for make-up work and s/he will be allotted the number of days missed to make up the assignments. For instance, if a student was absent two days, s/he will have two days to complete the work for full credit. If there are extenuating circumstances, see me BEFORE the work is late. Parents and students may check grades online through the Home Access Center. The web address for HAC is:  HYPERLINK "http://hac.doe.k12.de.us/HomeAccess/" http://hac.doe.k12.de.us/HomeAccess/. There is also a link to the HAC on POLYTECHs homepage:  HYPERLINK "http://www.polytechpanthers.com/" http://www.polytechpanthers.com/. All assignments will be graded and posted in a timely manner. Contact me with any questions regarding posted grades or comments. Seniors: In order to be exempt from the final exam at the end of the semester, you must have completed every assignment and have an A average in the course. Course Requirements: Students are expected to follow all POLYTECH rules and procedures as set forth in the student handbook. Students are required to behave and participate appropriately in class, whether it be to contribute to class discussions or complete assignments. This includes having the proper materials for class everyday. Failure to complete assignments in class will result in a referral for insubordination (20 demerits) per class period. Sitting in class and doing nothing is not an option. This is a list of topics we may be researching and discussing in class: Abortion Capital Punishment Affirmative Action/ Discrimination Drug Abuse No Smoking Laws Police Brutality Legalizing Marijuana Sexual Harassment Child Support Privacy/ National Security Immigration Homosexuality War with Iraq Gun Control Health Care Chemical, Biological, & Nuclear Warfare Corruption of Courts, Abuse of Power Parental Discipline Issues School Dropouts Foreign Aid Policies Child Labor Laws Flag Burning Cloning War on Terror/ Terrorism The following rated R films may be viewed in class.
