Miss Speirs’ Social Studies 7 & 8 Guidelines

Expectations:

1. Be Respectful. All Students and teachers will be treated with dignity and 
respect. This applies to personal rights, property, and opinions.

2. Be Responsible. You are responsible for your actions, behavior, and grades.

3. Be Involved. Actively participate in class discussions, debates and small 
group work.

Materials:
 A 1 ½”  three- ring binder 
Plenty of pens and/or pencils
Loose- Leaf Paper 
OPTIONAL Index cards, highlighter, colored pencils

Your Binder:
You will be required to keep a 1 1/2"three- ring binder. You will bring it to 
class daily and keep it organized and up to date. We will be having 
periodical notebook checks.  All papers in your notebook should be titled 
dated, and filed from newest to oldest.

Grades:
You will be graded on tests, quizzes, DBQ’s, essays, projects, group work, 
participation, selected homework assignments, effort and behavior. You will 
lose points by the day on late work.

Extra Credit: 
I will announce extra credit opportunities frequently.  Take advantage of 
them !!

Make Up Policy 
It is your responsibility to make up all missed work, and get notes and 
homework missed.  See me to arrange making up work.

Extra Help  
I will let you know at the beginning of the week which days I will be staying 
after.I will usually hold review sessions before major tests and quizzes. 
Since I do not have a classroom of my own, make sure you find out what room I 
will be staying in.

This classroom will be a safe zone for everyone. You should feel comfortable 
enough to share your opinions, participate often and have fun!!
