Pergande, Room 214, 389-7390 (Ext. 516)  HYPERLINK "mailto:dpergande@sayreschool.org" dpergande@sayreschool.org Teaching Periods: C, D, E, G Study Hall:B Free Periods: A, F, H Welcome juniors! This history course covers the major themes in American history, from the discovery of the New World to the challenges of the 21st century. The historical narrative will be complex and multi-dimensional as we explore private and public lives, ordinary and celebrated people, dividing and unifying trends, as well as national and international phenomena. Examining Americas history through a variety of lenses - political, social, economic, and cultural - we will continuously address these essential questions Why does what happen in the past matter? What counts as an historical event? Does anything not count? Who and what determines whether something in the past is significant? What is unique about the American experience? How has diversity shaped American society? What forces have drawn the nation together and enabled it to survive and flourish, despite division? Required Books and Materials: Since this is a college-preparatory class you will be assigned readings from a college level text and a variety of supplemental resources, including the following required texts: Alan Brinkley, The Unfinished Nation: A Concise History of the American People. Fourth Edition. American Studies: A Nextext Anthology. You will generally need to bring both texts to class (depending on the reading assignment the night before). In addition to these books and your laptop, you are also required to keep track of notes and papers. Therefore, you will need to have a large loose-leaf binder (1 at least) devoted to this history class. You should have plenty of loose-leaf paper and dividers for reading notes, class notes, homework assignments, handouts, and all returned quizzes, writing assignments and tests. Each student is responsible for keeping track of these materials (you will need them for the final exam). These notebooks/binders will be checked periodically (and graded) for their organization and content. These checks will be announced in advance. Expectations for History 11: Seek wisdom, choose integrity, show respect, and demonstrate compassion (Uhwhat does that mean?) Classroom Rules and Etiquette: Be on time. Be prepared. Be engaged and alert; participate to the fullest extent possible. Be courteous, considerate, and respectful of each other and your instructor. Be positive if you choose to do well, you will. Participation: Preparing for and participating in class discussions stimulates your mind, reinforces core content, and strengthens analytical thinking. Well all have a lot more fun if were exchanging and debating ideas together. Think of your classmates as colleagues who will make you smarter, not as rivals with whom you need to compete. Your effort in class (speaking aloud, asking and answering questions) will not only clarify information and boost your self-confidence, it will help your grade. Laptop Guidelines: See attached sheet. Attendance and Note-taking: Obviously, you cant participate if youre not in class. Prompt attendance is required and will affect your grade as well. Note-taking is also essential (on paper or on your laptop) for learning the material in this class. How you do it is up to you, but hard copies of your notes should be organized in your notebook for occasional checks and preparing for exams. Homework: Out of class assignments usually consists of readings with a related written or interactive component. Other assignments might include research exercises, web-based activities, preparation for oral presentations, creative writings or essays. Larger assignments may overlap with nightly reading and note-taking, but will be assigned in advance. Students are expected to balance these short-term and long-term assignments and complete both punctually. Unit syllabi with nightly assignments will be handed out at the beginning of each new unit. I will also post nightly assignments on my white board daily. Write it down. Ask questions if you dont understand. If you are not in class, you can check the PCR calendar system or e-mail/call a classmate for the nightly assignment. You are responsible for knowing the homework assignments and changes. I didnt know what the homework was is not a valid excuse even if youre computer is not working. Homework will be graded often, but not invariably. NOTE: Assignments announced as turn ins in advance must be printed, not e-mailed on your computer, in order to count. Grading: Participation, attendance, note-taking, homework assignments, and classroom evaluations are all included in the computation of your grade. Final cumulative exams are given in December and May on the entire semesters material and make up 20% of your semesters grade (see below). All graded work should be pledged with Sayres honor code: I hereby pledge my honor that I have neither given nor received any unauthorized aid on this work. Term Grades are computed as follows: Participation, attendance, effort and note-taking 20% Homework, class work, quizzes, tests, essays and projects 80% Semester grades are computed as follows: Term 1 grade 40% Term 2 grade 40% Final cumulative exam 20% Terms 3 and 4 are calculated the same as 1 and 2. Course Topics and Unit Chronology: Our goal is to cover U.S. History to the present. Below is an approximate outline of how the units will be broken down and the time frame during the school year when we will try to cover them.
