    Welcome
    My name is Miss Abraham and I will be your 7th grade social studies instructor. This is my first
    year as a full time teacher and prior to this year, I completed my Secondary Education
    Bachelors Degree from Arizona State University, focusing on History. I have over 2 years of
    classroom experience and one of my favorite topics of History is the Civil War. I look forward to
    a successful school year enhancing the youthful minds of the students in the classroom.
    Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction. John F. Kennedy
    Course Description
    Topics of History and Geography are standard information that the students of Arizonas public
    schools are required to know. The students will recognize history as a cultural influence to
    society, connecting past events to world topics today. Geographic skills will be utilized in order
    to understand the ideologies of other cultures while promoting academic discipline in other
    aspects of their education. These critical skills will enhance the students reading, writing,
    speaking & listening, as well as presentation values of education. The core purpose of this course
    is to allow understanding and analyzation of the United States from the late 15 th century up to
    the 20th century. Major topics that will be assessed completely are as follows:

    Known People in the Americas to the Colonial Beginnings (1400-1700)


    Creating a Government to Testing the Republic Ideologies (1700-1815)
    Expanding the Nation to the Internal War of Rights (1815-1865)
    Reconstruction to the Dawn of the 20th Century (1865-1915)

    Course Expectations & Policies


    Students are expected to attend class every day, and encouraged to actively participate. Students
    should be prepared for class on time with necessary materials for success. Quality work is
    expected from each and every student, and honest efforts to do the best work is important.
    Asking intelligent questions that are relevant to the topic as well as respecting individuals rights
    and diverse opinions of classmates are also a must.

    The grading criteria follows the district policy. Progress reports (each quarter) as well as final

    with returning class or homework after an absence, as the district policy states. Homework can
    be turned in late up to 1 WEEK (with a 50% deduction.) Fortunately, extra credit papers and
    worksheets will be available to every student. Students will be able to turn in up to 10 extra
    credit worksheets, which will account to the promotion of ONE letter grade. Parents may access
