This year in social studies, we focus on ancient civilizations as well as the Middle Ages. Our units for this year will include: Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Near East, China, and Rome. In addition, we will spend time studying archaeology.
Students will be evaluated in four areas: projects, homework, quizzes, and tests. For the first quarter, each area will be weighted towards their final grade as follows: projects 40%, homework 25%, quizzes 20%, and tests 15%.
This week we will discuss our classroom economy.
