Welcome to 9th Grade World History at Chandler High! An historical approach will be at the
center of the course. Within this class, students will be introduced to pre-history. They will then
progress through ancient history until they reach modern day. The application of the themes of
geography and an analysis of the cultural traits of civilizations will help students understand how
people shape their world and how their world shapes them.
Required Materials
1. A folder/ 3 ring binder specifically for this class
2. 8 1/2 X 11 white loose leaf paper
3. Pencil or pen
4. A daily planner / agenda book is suggested for this class. Students are strongly
encouraged to use a daily planner to keep track of assignments and work. Remember:
“students do not plan to fail, but rather they fail to plan.”
Assignments - All homework is due at the beginning of the class period. Go to the school
website and click on my web page to find information about assignment and test dates.
Grading Policy – 40% (3rd Quarter), 40% (4th Quarter), 20% (Final Exam)
Behavioral Expectations – No profanity, no tardiness, and “treat others the way you want to be
treated.”
Tardy Policy – Being late will result in being swept. (1 sweep = 1 absence)
Absences - If your absence is excused, you will be allowed to make-up the assignments, quizzes,
or tests for full credit. If your absence is unexcused, it will be treated as late work. Make sure
your parent or guardian calls in your absences.

9th Hour
In an effort to help freshmen transition to high school level academics, students who are not
prepared with completed homework assignments will be assigned to a mandatory after school
“9th hour”. This opportunity is for freshmen to complete the assignment and receive help as
needed from their teacher. Ninth hour will be held Monday through Thursday from 2:30 to 4
P.M. Late bus transportation will be available.
