US History

England and the Colonies

�  In 1660 England had two clusters of colonies divided by Dutch controlled lands.

�  Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Rhode Island (North).

�  Maryland and Virginia (South).

�  Dutch owned New Amsterdam (New York).

SWBAT discuss class procedures/policies in order to understand the expectations in Mr. Pierce’s class.

SWBAT introduce themselves in order to establish a safe and open classroom environment.

�  Announcements •  School has started again (in case you didn’t know). •  This may be the best year of your life.

Welcome Back

�  Turn to your neighbor, and talk about one of your favorite memories of Mrs. Hostetter.

�  Then Mr. Pierce is going to ask a few students to share them memories.

Warm-Up

Materials Needed for Class �  Spiral Notebook (Homework notes) �  Folder/3-ring binder with lined paper �  Planner �  Pen/Pencil �  Textbook (Bring to every class) Students are expected to come to class prepared. If students come to class unprepared, there will be extra pens and paper in class. However, students will lose daily participation points for being unprepared.

Disclosure Doc

Expectations �  Be prepared (have all materials). �  Be on time (in seat when late bell rings). �  Be respectful (speak kindly of other students/

teachers, keep hands to yourself, set high standards for yourself)

�  Speak in turn (do not speak when the teacher or another student is speaking).

�  Be engaged & on-task (taking notes, completing assignments, making comments, etc.).

Citizenship Citizenship is based on a 100 point scale. Students start each quarter with 85 points, which is a Satisfactory. Students will earn and lose citizenship points according to the guidelines below. While I will abide by the following guidelines, I will use my own discretion to account for the individual situation of each student. Honors--90-100 Points (Best work, never tardy, no missing work, prepared for class, great attitude) Satisfactory--80-89 Points (Good work, sometimes tardy, some missing work, mostly prepared for class, good attitude) Needs Improvement--70-79 Points (Poor work, often tardy, lots of missing work, rarely prepared for class, poor attitude) Unacceptable--Below 69 Points (No work, mostly tardy, mostly missing work, never prepared for class, bad attitude)

Disclosure Doc

Extra Help & Re-teaching I will be available after school Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday 3:15pm-4pm. If students are unable to meet with me during those times, we can arrange another time. If students have any questions or need help, they are strongly encouraged to come see me as often as they need. Student Progress SIS will usually be updated on Fridays. Students and parents are responsible for referring to SIS often in order to track student progress. Likewise it is their responsibility to bring to my attention any concerns or questions. I will contact parents through email or by phone during midterm and other grading periods if a student has a D grade or lower.

Disclosure Doc

Late Work & Make-up Work Any assignments completed and turned in after the designated due date will be considered late. A 10% deduction in points will be subtracted for every day the assignment is late, but deduction will go no lower than 50% of the full points possible. Late work will not be accepted after the unit test. Every late assignment must be submitted with a late work slip. This late work slip includes the date the assignment was due, the date it was turned in, the reason the assignment was submitted late, and a signature from a parent. Without a parent’s signature, the assignment cannot be submitted. It is up to the parents’ discretion whether they want to sign a student’s late slip or not. It is the student’s responsibility to submit quality work on time. Students with excused absences will be given one more day in addition to the days they were absent to complete missed work. For example, if a student missed 2 calendar days of school, he or she would have 3 calendar days to complete the missed work. It is the student’s responsibility to ask about and collect missing assignments. Additionally, it is the student’s responsibility to get the missed notes and lesson information from a peer. Students who miss exams/quizzes will have one week to make them up, after school. If the student is unable to meet after school, he or she can arrange a different time with me.

Disclosure Doc

Cheating and Plagiarism Any form of cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated. This includes copying work from peers, claiming another person’s work as your own, failing to cite another person’s work in your research, telling another student the answers to a test/quiz before he or she takes it, or being told test answers before taking a test. Any students found cheating will receive a “0” on the assignment and will not be allowed to make it up. Bullying and Sexual Harassment There is zero tolerance for bullying, hazing or sexual harassment in my classroom. If I find a student taking part in it, he or she will meet with me and/or administration. This will also include notifying parents of the occurrence. Depending on the severity of the situation, additional consequences will be exacted.

Disclosure Doc

Tardiness A student is tardy if he or she is not in the assigned classroom, in his or her assigned seat when the late bell rings. If a student is tardy, he or she must sign their name on the Tardy Log, which is located next to the door. In general, tardiness will be handled on an individual basis with the teacher. If a student is chronically tardy then the student may be referred to the administration. Middle school students are allowed 3 tardies per class each quarter. Hall Pass When a student needs to use a hall pass, he or she does not have to bring it to my attention. Avoiding making in classroom distraction, the student will quietly fill out the Hall Pass Log, which can be found on my desk, and then use their 5 minutes (use restroom, get a drink, etc.). Only one student at a time can be out in the hall. If other students want to use their hall passes, they must wait until all other students have returned to class. Students will want to use Hall Pass as little as possible because excessive use will result in point deductions from citizenship.

Disclosure Doc

Electronic Devices Students are not supposed to have electronic devices (cell phones, iPods, etc.) during school hours. Electronic devices must remain in students' lockers during school hours. If I see an electronic device on a student, I will confiscate it. A parent will be required to pick it up from the main office after school before it can be returned to a student.

�  SWBAT identify the 5 themes of Geography in order to understand how geography impacts events in history.

Objectives

What is Geography?

�  Describes the earth’s physical and human features and the interactions of people, places and environments.

�  Geographers search for patterns in these features and interactions, seeking to explain how and why they exist or occur.

�  Draw 5 lines across your paper so that it is divided into 5 equal parts. Then draw a line down the middle dividing it in half.

�  As we discuss each theme, you will write down a few questions pertaining to each theme (in the left column) , and draw a picture to help you remember that theme (in the right column).

�  We are going to start reading at the start of each class.

�  Expectations: ¡  Mr. Pierce will read at the start of every class. ¡  While he is reading, students will be attentive and quietly

listening to the story. ¡  Mr. Pierce will take breaks from reading to ask questions about

what is happening in the story.

�  What is Jamestown? �  Who is involved?

Eastern US

Settled in 1607

First Permanent English Settlement

Scrambled States Pictures

�  Why? To practice recognizing state boundaries. �  Materials: paper, glue, scissors, pens, pencils, or

markers. �  Students will arrange the states into shapes forming

a picture of an event in US history. The picture needs to have a caption or explanation of what the event is.

�  Students will cut out the shapes of the states, and arrange them how they want them. Students will then color the states, and glue them together. Remember to include the caption.

Map Skills & Population Density

�  Comparing and Contrasting ¡  Geographers use population density maps to efficiently share

large quantities of information easily. ¡  Population density maps use colors or symbols to show the

average number of people living in a square mile or square kilometer.

¡  You won’t need your book for this activity, but you can work with a partner as long as your keep your voices to a whisper.

Timeline Activity

�  Use your textbook to complete the time line. Place events in the appropriate space. Include the date for each event. Then add the World Events to the time line (there are 9 events listed on the worksheet).

�  There are timelines on the first page of Chapter 1, and at the beginning of each section in the chapter.

A day in the life…

�  Choose a group of Native Americans �  Read about their culture and geography. �  Assume the point of view of one person within that

group (chief, child, woman, warrior, hunter, medicine woman, trader, etc.).

�  Chief of a Dakota tribe. �  I married the sister of Chief Kanagashnaga of the Eastern Sioux tribe. She

is 10 years older than me, but by marrying her, I made a treaty with the her people. We have become wealthy by trading with each other. I don’t mind her being old, she is a great cook. She cooks antelope, deer and makes a mean buffalo stew. I think she adds buffalo milk for extra flavor.

�  We move around a lot, to follow the buffalo. My tepee is made from the largest buffalo my people have ever killed. I inherited it from my great-great-great grandfather who inherited from father-sky and mother-earth as a wedding gift.

�  The women tend to the maize, squash and beans while we men hunt buffalo and deer. I don’t hunt more since I am chief, but I have 10 warrior sons who are the pride of the tribe. They are the best hunters. One stalked a deer and was able to spear from 75 feet away. He had been following this deer for days, but it kept slipping away.
