Julianna Storts Civics Department
Coordinator 479-750-8849 Plan: 3:13 – 4:00 Department
Plan: 11:35 – 12:54 Civics We will be covering the
following:
This course is required for graduation. Students must have a passing grade (one
full credit) in Civics to graduate.
Both high schools offer one semester of Civics in case a student needs
a half credit. However, if a student
needs both half credits – the student will need to take the semester at
HBHS/SHS and then go to night school to earn the other half. Each student will be given a textbook and are
responsible in bringing it to class on a daily basis. Assignments All assignments are posted daily in classroom. It is the student’s responsibility to get make-up work. Three days are given to turn any work in due to an excused absence. Full-credit is NOT allowed for any unexcused late work. Students may receive up to 70 percent credit for unexcused late work as long as it is turned in within three days of the due date (weekends included). Agenda Students are expected to write down their objectives on a daily basis. Using an agenda is okay but not necessary. Students may just use a notebook they bring to class to store their objectives Tests All test days are posted well in advance. Historical
Fiction Project This assignment was given as a rubric to students in December 2008. The project is due March 13, 2009. No late work accepted Upcoming Events Spring Break March 21 – 29, 2009 Last day of school for students if we don’t miss
