Being Prepared• Come prepared to class (have materials and

assignments completed BEFORE entering class).• Make sure you have a notebook/binder, folder,

writing utensil, and your planner every day! • If you lose an assignment/worksheet it is up to you

to get a new one (you can get one from my website or Google Classroom). You will not be given another one. We conserve paper to the best of our ability!

Grade BreakdownGrades are done on a weighted scale. This means that the course grade is divided into component parts, each part being worth some percentage of the total grade.

World History Mrs. BeyerRoom 201

7 Gold 2019-2020

Welcome to World History! I am very excited for this school year. This is my 6th year at CJHS. I can’t wait to get to know you! You may always stop for help/questions during study hall and before/after school (must let me know before you do this because I coach numerous sports). You can also email me at: beyera@epd86.org. My classroom website is http://mrsbeyerswildcats.weebly.com/ you can find worksheets, PowerPoint’s, and other assignments there or on Google Classroom.

We focus heavily on being able to answer questions with evidence and examples. There will be materials in the classroom that students will have daily access to in order to become the best evidence based writers they can be! Students will become critical thinkers by learning how to ask higher level questions. Students will be challenged in this class and I can’t wait to see how much we grow together!

Our class uses a lot of technology to discover our own questions over the topics. Students need to bring headphones or ear buds daily to class. If you do not own headphones or ear buds please notify Mrs. Beyer so we can get you a pair.

Students will receive two days to complete the assignments missed because of an absence, after the two days, the homework policy will be in effect.
