The course is designed to cover important events that have shaped

the United States from 1890 to the present. You will be viewing and
interpreting periods in United States history from various
perspectives, including historical, geographical, political, economic,
and cultural. Together, these perspectives can help you to
understand how the past has led to our present and to appreciate
your role in shaping our future.

The instructor reserves the right to deal with specific late work and
make-up work issues on a case by case basis. The general rules that
will apply are as follows:

If a student is absent, it is his or her responsibility to download

the work & notes you missed which can be found on my teacher
webpage (wontorick.weebly.com)

Students have as many days as they were absent to make up

the work before it will be considered late.

Late assignments will be deducted 50%

Late work will be accepted until the end of each marking period.

We will watch multiple historically based videos & clips.

The video ratings range from G to PG -13 and may contain
re-enactments of wars or war like images. If you dont not
feel comfortable having your child view these types of
images please let me know.
