Global History & Geography 9 Course Syllabus

Course Overview:

This year in 9^th grade you will be studying world history beginning with the Paleolithic Age through the European’s arrival in the Americas and the English adoption of Democracy in 1688. We will be exploring world geography, religions, ideas and inventions, politics, and the economics of the world in these early periods of human civilization.
Global History and Geography is a two-year course in the history of the world. The first half occurs in the 9^th grade where we focus on the first half of world history, as determined by the NYS Board of Education. In 10^th grade you will study world history beginning with the Scientific Revolution through today. At the end of 10^th grade you will take a Regents exam that tests the skills and knowledge you learned in both 9^th and 10^th grade.
This course is taught in conjunction with World Literature, where you will read literature from the regions and time periods we study. Both courses will focus on raising your reading and writing skills to a college-ready level and enhance your understanding of historical events.
A college-ready student is on or above grade-level, and has mastered a set of skills that will help he/she to be successful in a college setting.

Course Goals:

In addition to exposing students to historical and literary content, the course aims to prepare students for college-level history work, particularly focusing on reading and writing skills.
Students will work towards the ability to complete historical research.
Students will be able to identify and evaluate different approaches to and interpretations of historical events and topics, and explain the causes and effects of historical change.

Your assignments and grades will posted here in a timely fashion so that you may keep track of your progress as the year goes on. It is advisable that you check your grades regularly so that you are aware of any missing work or low grades that might be amendable.

Extra credit means extra work. If you are missing many assignments, therefore not keeping up with the work, then you will not be given additional work to compensate for your grade. Any considerations for extra credit will be given on a case-by-case basis.

Academic Support:

Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I am available at S.O.S. (2:17- 3:06pm) to provide support on assignments, study or to work on social studies skills.

Classroom Expectations:

1. Always give your best effort on all class activities and assignments. That means coming to class prepared with you working binder, paper, a pen, your assignments and ready to participate in class.

2. Academic Freedom: All students have a right to their opinions, however unpopular. How you support your opinions is a key to doing well in this class. Respect for the opinions of others is a class requirement.  

3. Remember that your personal honor and integrity are a very precious and important part of who you are as a person. Therefore, I expect that you will do all of your OWN work at all times (see the MHSHS History Dept. Plagiarism Policy below).  

Do not be late. Be inside the door when the bell rings, unless you have a legitimate excuse to be tardy.  
Remember, this is OUR class, yours as well as mine. Your actions have a direct affect on everyone around you, including me.
All rules and expectations are subject to change at Ms. Hanemann’s discretion.

MHSHS History Department Late Work Policy:

It is expected that your work will be turned in by the assigned date. Assigned work received after the prescribed date will not be eligible for full credit. If you are absent you will be required to make up any missed assignments including tests. One day of absence affords one day of make-up work opportunity. If you are absent, a note is required to allow late work to receive full credit. Late Assignments will receive a deduction in points as listed below:

Received at the time due: Eligible for Full Credit
Received on due date but after time due (ex: after school): -10%

MHSHS History Department Plagiarism Policy:

All work is to be completed in your own words.
Work that is not your own must be properly cited using MLA format.
MHSHS History teachers and administration will deal with incidences of plagiarism on a case-by-case basis. Students should be aware that some plagiarism cases may result in punishment beyond the school level, as there are state and federal laws protecting copyrighted works.
The following items MAY be copied directly from the textbook:

Definitions of vocabulary words
Headings used in the textbook for note-taking formats

If a student is unsure of their use of words from a source, they must inform the teacher of their need for support BEFORE the assignment is due.
Turnitin.com writes that plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:

o "The Ghost Writer"  The writer turns in another's work, word-for-word, as his or her own.

o "The Photocopy"  The writer copies significant portions of text straight from a single source, without alteration.

o "The Potluck Paper"  The writer tries to disguise plagiarism by copying from several different sources or classmates, tweaking the sentences to make them fit together while keeping most of the original phrasing.

o "The Poor Disguise"  Although the writer has kept the essential content of the source, he or she has altered the paper's appearance slightly by changing key words and phrases.

o "The Labor of Laziness"  The writer takes the time to paraphrase most of the paper from other sources and make it all fit together, instead of spending the same effort on original work.

o "The Self-Stealer"  The writer "borrows" generously from his or her previous work, violating policies concerning the expectation of originality adopted by most academic institutions.

"This is a good primary source. Its written by Pericles and describes what life was like in Greece during the development of Democracy."

Where to Find Sources:

Old Regents Exams (DBQ Documents usually start on page 12, so you can just skip ahead to that page to scan the topic of the DBQ and the documents)

History Teacher (There are SOOO many places to look, I don't even know where to start. This site is A-MAZING)

Regents Prep (Click here for a direct link to their Political Systems Section)

Fordham Sourcebook (Choose a time period on the left sidebar and begin scrolling through the time, then make further selections on the left sidebar)
Google Scholar: Instead of doing an ordinary Google search, type in your political system with its region, click on "More">"Scholar" and you'll come up with scholarly articles, historian's perspectives, and research by professional analysts on your topic. BEWARE- some of these have VERY difficult language, if you're having trouble reading the first paragraph, move on to the next article.
Regular Old Google: Type in the naem of your political system and the letters "DBQ" after.

Ex: "Feudalism Japan DBQ"
Ex: "Absolutism France DBQ"

Classroom Documents: I have lots of sources in my classroom. Come by on Monday during lunch and I can help you choose some from my stock if you are having difficulty finding sources.

Dear Student,

You have been specially selected for Mission Movie Star, an important project brought to you by the nationally acclaimed organization, ASCD (Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development). Should you choose to accept this mission, you will be required to:

· Attend school on Tuesday, January 25^th from 8:00am-12:00pm

· Be in uniform and well-rested

· Bring all materials you have on the Fall of the Roman Empire

· Eat a delicious lunch, all expenses paid by MHSHS

· Receive free movie tickets for your participation

· AND…

· GET READY TO BE ON CAMERA, BECAUSE WE’RE MAKIN’ A MOVIE ABOUT TEACHING AND LEARNING!

ASCD is an organization that helps teachers to become better teachers. Several staff members at MHSHS have been selected to appear in a film that will demonstrate strategies created by ASCD. During this filming Ms. Hanemann will conduct a lesson on the Fall of Rome. Since the lesson is being filmed you can expect that the crew will stop and re-start the lesson in order to get the best shot.

All of my students have been invited to participate in this filming. We will select 15-20 students for filming first based on availability. If you have a Regents, Mock Regents, or mid-term exam on the morning of January 25^th and still want to participate, please make sure to indicate that on your return slip.

This invitation does NOT guarantee selection for filming. Only your return slip can help us determine which students will participate. Those students who are selected for filming will be given further information.

If you have any further questions, please do not contact Ms. Hanemann, but feel free to call the MHSHS Main Office at 212.501.1235.

A college-ready student is both on grade-level and has mastered a set of skills that will help he/she to be successful in a college setting.

All rules and expectations are subject to change at Ms. Hanemann’s discretion.

MHSHS History Department Late Work Policy:

It is expected that your work will be turned in by the assigned date. Assigned work received after the prescribed date will not be eligible for full credit. If you are absent you will be required to make up any missed assignments including tests. One day of absence affords one day of make-up work opportunity.

MHSHS History Department Plagiarism Policy:

All work is to be completed in your own words.

MHSHS History teachers and administration will deal with incidences of plagiarism on a case-by-case basis. Students should be aware that some plagiarism cases may result in punishment beyond the school level, as there are state and federal laws protecting copyrighted works.
The following items MAY be copied directly from the textbook:

Definitions of vocabulary words
Headings used in the textbook for note-taking formats

If a student is unsure of their use of words from a source, they must inform the teacher of their need for support BEFORE the assignment is due.
Turnitin.com writes that plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:

o "The Ghost Writer"  The writer turns in another's work, word-for-word, as his or her own.

o "The Photocopy"  The writer copies significant portions of text straight from a single source, without alteration.

o "The Poor Disguise"  Although the writer has kept the essential content of the source, he or she has altered the paper's appearance slightly by changing key words and phrases.

o "The Labor of Laziness"  The writer takes the time to paraphrase most of the paper from other sources and make it all fit together, instead of spending the same effort on original work.

o "The Self-Stealer"  The writer "borrows" generously from his or her previous work, violating policies concerning the expectation of originality adopted by most academic institutions.

Kids!

Today I found this on the New York Times Global Edition and I thought some of you would find it interesting.

Since many people travel over the summer the New York Times asked readers to submit photos from their travels. The pictures are beautiful and each one has its own story written by the photographer (just regular people who have had the good fortune to travel). You can search the pictures by continent and country. Pictures and first hand stories of travel are two of the best ways to travel the world without going anywhere. You can also submit your own photos! Enjoy!
