**__Social Studies__** Welcome to Mr. Fonnesbeck’s Social Studies class. All materials for this class will be provided in class.


 * __Tests/Quizzes and Projects:__** Tests and quizzes will make up **90 %** of each student’s grade. Tests will be given at the end of each unit and will be announced a week in advance. There will be 1 to 2 quizzes given each unit. Students may retake any test that they wish as long as all of their work from that unit is completed. Projects will also be used as a form of assessing a student’s knowledge of the content being taught.


 * __Class Work and Home Work__**: To help prepare each student for success on assessments, we will have assignments during each week. If the assignment is not finished during the allowed class time, it will then be expected to be completed at home. Class work and homework will account for **10%** of each student’s grade. A student retaking a test or quiz can due so, only after the completion of all of the class work from that particular unit of study.


 * __Current Events__**: Periodically on Thursdays, the class will discuss current events in the world. Students are encouraged to bring in articles, pay attention to the news, and bring to the discussion any current event topics. After the discussion, students will be expected to write their opinions or will be provided with an activity related to the topic. Current events will be included into the class work and home work.

Thank you to all in advance for being a part of this Social Studies class.

Mr. Karl Fonnesbeck
