American
History II
I am excited to be teaching the second half of American History. The
topics I will be covering start at Immigration and end at the present. I
hope the students find that History can be more
than the memorizing of dates and people. I look forward to seeing
you in class daily.

United States beginning with the reconstruction period and continuing until the

LATE WORK
There is no such thing as late work in US History. A zero will be given
if the work is not turned in on time.
MAKE-UP WORK
"If you are absent it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to find out what was
missed. Missed assignments will not be given out or discussed during
class. Make-up work should be completed according to deadlines set
by the teacher. If you have a conflict that cannot be resolved, it is up
to you to make other arrangements with me. Make-up work for daily
assignments and major tests will result in zeros if not completed in the
allotted time.
GRADING POLICY
Major Tests grades are worth 66.7% of you average.
Daily tests, class exercises, and class projects are worth 33.3% of your
average.
Writing assignment grades and notebook grades will vary and will be announced
prior to the due date.
