We will be taking the Missouri constitution test this year. As we study the constitution I will give you opportunities to earn constitutional credits along the way. If you earn enough credits on quizzes and/or assignments then you will be exempt from taking the Missouri constitution test at the end of the unit.
We will be expanding on your knowledge of world geography and we will study United States history up through the Civil War.
You will also be required to memorize the Presidents of the U.S. Throughout U.S. history the President has initiated or responded to major historical events, therefore, memorizing the Presidents will aid you in internalizing a timeline of history. You will be required to memorize 15 each quarter until all are internalized at the end of the 3rd quarter. We will take periodic quizzes to check your progress.
Students will be required to complete a biography book report of an approved historical figure.
