SYLLABUS FOR 2nd NINE WEEKS 2015-2016
During the second nine weeks you will be doing quite a bit of writing. Your grade this quarter will
come mostly from essays, tests and quizzes on the chapter readings. ALL MULTIPLE CHOICE
TESTS WILL BE CUMULATIVE FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. We will be doing timed writing
essays in class this nine weeks and working in earnest on DBQs, LEQs, and SAQs. Assignments for
primary source readings will continue to be posted on Edmodo. Summary charts (Presidents, Wars,
SPEDIs) will be turned in at the corresponding unit test and are crucial to your thorough
understanding of the material we will be covering and for use as review tools for your semester
exam and the AP Exam. These items will be checked for completion and/or accuracy. I cannot stress
enough how important it is that you read and understand the chapters from your text. Because we
have to move so quickly this nine weeks, we will not be able to cover every detail in class. If
everyone comes to class having already read the material, we will be able to accomplish a great
deal. Good luck, have faith and hang in there!
