Classroom+Rules+and+Policies


 * __ Mr. Enck Seventh Grade Social Studies Classroom Policies __**

Welcome to seventh grade Social Studies! It is my sincere desire for everyone to enjoy the upcoming semester. My goal is to make your seventh grade social studies experience as enjoyable and effective as possible. I strive to make my classroom a safe and comfortable environment for everyone, including all students, teachers, staff members, and administrators. To ensure the success of all students in my classroom I expect EVERYONE to be respectful, responsible, and courteous. **__Discipline__** All school rules apply and will be enforced in my classroom. Failure to comply with the school rules will result in the following discipline steps:
 * Warning
 * T.O.S. Slip
 * Parent Contact
 * Detention
 * Referral to Administration

This semester in social studies we will be studying the historic, geographic, economic, political, and social systems of the medieval world (476-1453 C.E.) with direct focus on the following areas:
 * __ Curriculum __**


 * The Splitting and Fall of the Roman Empire
 * Europe in the Early Medieval World
 * Middle East in the Early Medieval World
 * The Crusades Change the World
 * Medieval Africa
 * Medieval Asia
 * Medieval Civilizations of the Americas

All grades will be based on a total point system. Each assignment will have a specific point value that is relevant to the item being graded. Items that will be graded include, but are not limited to:
 * __ Grades __**


 * Class Work
 * Homework
 * Test/Quizzes
 * In-class/Out-of-class projects

Students are expected to turn in completed assignments at the beginning of class. ALL late work will automatically receive half credit, NO EXCEPTIONS! For example, if a project is worth 100 points but is turned in after the beginning of class on the due date the best grade the student can receive on this assignment is a 50/100. Students that are absent from class will have five days to make up all missed work. Students are responsible for gathering and turning in all missed work on time!
 * __ Grading Late or Missing Work __**

**NOTE: All missing work will receive a 25%. Once the student turns in the missing work, the late work policy will be used.

All students are expected to come to class on time and to be prepared for the period. Students will be required to have the following materials everyday:
 * __ Supplies __**
 * Pen, Pencil, and Highlighter
 * Marble Notebook or Spiral Notebook
 * Binder (this can be a separate section in any binder)

__** Classroom Website **__ I have created a website for our 7th grade Medieval World History class. Anyone with internet access will be able to view the website by going to http://encksmedievalhistory.wikispaces.com/ or by viewing Mr. Enck’s personal page on Governor Thomas Johnson Middle School’s website at []. I will be posting the daily objectives and lesson overviews, assignments/homework, new vocabulary words, classroom worksheets, project directions, study guides, and other important information on the website. I encourage all students and parents/guardians to check our website on a daily basis. Please let me know if you have any questions pertaining to the website.
