Consult with me for other consultation times. Learning Goals for the Students: Students will gain a greater awareness of the origins of American government and how government continues to play a role in their everyday lives. Students will examine the documents that have shaped the American political system. Students will gain a deeper insight into the nature of the Constitution and determine if it is truly a living document. Students will gain a greater openness to ideas that challenge their assumptions about our system of government and the individuals who run our government. Course Themes: Historical and philosophical foundation of American government. Description of how our government compares to other governments throughout the world. Process by which the Constitution was created and the major ways in which the Constitution is able to adapt to changing times. Idea of checks and balances relating to the three separate branches of American government. Special attention will be paid to the 2012 Election. Ways in which rights for all Americans have expanded during the past 230 years. Major Supreme Court cases that have had a profound impact on how Americans live their daily lives. The expansion and growth of the right to vote and what it means to us individually today. Various roles and responsibilities that all individuals have as American citizens. Classroom Management: Classroom experiences should be exciting, invigorating, and sometimes lighthearted. However, do not mistake having fun while we learn to mean that it is time to slack off or slide by. The bell does not dismiss students from class the teacher does. Any student packing up or leaving class before they are dismissed owes me a ten minute detention. All detentions will be served before the start of the school day. Students will be sitting quietly in their seats before the bell rings. I absolutely abhorred a class full of students standing up and talking when the bell rings! Any student not in their chair quietly will serve a ten minute detention. The only exception for not sitting in your chair quietly before the bell rings requires you having written permission from another teacher or the office. This also applies to the tardy bell following school lunch. Dont time the bell! During discussions, respect other students comments, opinions, and ideas. Answer all written questions with a complete sentence. Anything written not using complete sentences will not be graded. Complete sentence every time! When I assign homework, there will be no moaning or complaining. This will result in a double assignment. New is the word in this classroom this year! Take some time to look around at all of the new desks, the new carpet, the new paint on the walls, and the new rubber base. New is great but is also comes along with the responsibility of making sure that this classroom continues to look new. Leave the campsite better than you found it! If not there will be consequences! In my opinion, life ultimately comes down to whether you want to be a Tigger or an Eeyore. While you are with a substitute teacher, you will obey the same rules that you follow when I am in the room. Any student who has their name written down by a substitute, for any reason, will serve a three hour detention, and write an approved apology letter to the sub. Any student refusing to write an apology letter will serve 15 hours of detention. I do not take disrespectful actions toward any visitor to our school lightly! Do not speak unless: you raise your hand and I call on you, I ask you to respond to a question, or you are working in a group. Please sharpen your pencil before the bell rings or after I am done teaching. Stand up for what you believe in but do it in a way that does not degrade others. Carpe Diem! Lets talk about cell phones! Honestly, I dont really care if you bring your phone into this classroom. I have mine and it is alright for you to bring your phone into this classroom as long as I do not hear it and you refrain from texting. If you knees start to become funny your phone will be taken away from you and there will be additional consequences. Accept that you are going to make mistakes. Learn from them and move on. I will make one guarantee to you about life: I will never go into your room and throw papers all over your floor. In return, I expect that you will keep the area around your desk clean. Your mother is not here to pick up after you. Class will not be dismissed until the floor is absolutely clean. Leave it better than you found it! Keep textbooks covered at all times. These books cost a lot of money and you need to take care of them. Any student without a cover will be accessed a one dollar fine per day. Any student who loses or severely damages a textbook will have to pay a $60 fine. If you miss notes for any reason it is your responsibility to get a copy of the notes. All of the class notes will be posted on my webpage on the day that or before we take the notes in class.  HYPERLINK "http://www.scs-ne.org" http://www.scs-ne.org. Feel free to print out the notes before you come to class. Just remember that you are allowed to print off you notes but are still expected to pay attention and participate in classroom discussion. Make up slips will be put on my desk before the start of the class period. No make up slip will be signed if it is not on my desk before the start of class. You are not allowed to borrow a pen from me if you dont ask! It is my belief that responsible students should be able to remember to bring a writing utensil with them to class every day. However, if you need to occasionally borrow a pen from me you will need to offer me something as collateral. This is what historians like to refer to as bartering. You are responsible for your actions and your work. FYI texting lingo is not permitted in formal writing. I know OMG, but when you answer questions on a test or write a paper make sure that you use formal language. LOL! Not JK! HA HA! I grade all late work during the summer. You will be allowed to have a bottle of water on your desk. However, since you are allowed to have a bottle of water on your desk you will not be allowed to leave the room to get a drink during class. You many also chew gum as long as, I do not see it, hear it, or find it on the bottom of a desk. Any student who uses inappropriate language, talks excessively, or is unruly in any way will be asked to leave the classroom and not return until they are able to control themselves. Results of being asked to leave the classroom: 1st Offense The student will serve a 30 minute detention. 2nd Offense The students parents/guardians will be contacted and the student will serve a 40 minute detention. 3rd Offense The offending student will meet with myself, the principal, and their parents/guardians. The student will also serve a 60 minute detention. 4th Offense The student will be asked to leave the classroom indefinitely until they are able to control themselves. The student will receive a zero from any work that is assigned during their absence from class. You have been warned. Now that we have reviewed the rules I will not repeat them and give you warnings before you are punished. As responsible students you know the rules and I expect you to abide by them. Student Movement Only one student will be allowed to leave the classroom at a time, except in cases of emergency. Submission of Make-Up Work: According to the ̽Ƶ Student Handbook Any student who misses class for a legitimate reason is given one day plus one to complete any make-up work. Make-Up Test: The time and location of make-up tests will be arranged after the teacher consults with individuals whom missed the exam. If the student refuses to take the test in the timeframe determined by the teacher, they will receive a zero on the test. Test must be made up within one week of your last day absent from school. After one week I will put a zero into the grade book until you take the test. CAUTION: KNOW THE RULES ABOUT CHEATING AND PLAGIARISM! Plagiarism (using four or more words from another author without citing the source) is a form of cheating, whether you are borrowing someone elses words without acknowledgement or letting someone else use your work for credit. You know what cheating is, dont do it! Any student caught cheating will receive an automatic zero NO EXCEPTIONS! Additional Comments: John Adams (the second President of the United States) wrote, the facts we learn in school arent so important; they fade with the passing years. Its who we become by virtue of the process, which is important. Therefore, in order for each student to reach his or her potential you must come to class prepared to learn each day. Students, just like you, around the world would love to have the opportunities that you are given at school on a daily basis. With a proper education and proper attitude you are given the opportunity to one day excel at what ever profession you choose. However, the choice of success or failure in life lies in your hands today. Now it is up to you to choose which path to follow. More Additional Comments Abraham Lincoln (the sixteenth President of the United States) has a lot of powerful advice that we can apply to our daily lives. The best piece of advice that I have ever read from Lincoln is whatever you do, do it well. How can you apply this to your life? How can we apply this to this class?
