Civics (Period 3)
Assignment Calendar
Course Description
This class is a graduation requirement and is worth 5 credits.
The textbook is Magruder's American Government, if you have not checked out a textbook, please contact the front office and make arrangements to do so as soon as possible. Please see the file Civics Assignment Sheet below to locate the assigned chapters and page numbers of your written assignments. Remember, RA = Review Assessment questions (of which you complete all of them using a complete sentence that includes the information from the question in your answer).
Once you have read the chapter, completed the chapter assessment, and copied and reviewed your chapter notes, you will be ready to complete your chapter exam. For your chapter exam you will write a short response (2-3 sentences) for each item in your chapter notes (I.e., capital letter of the chapter acronym) that explains and states the importance of each item. Then, you will select one item from your chapter notes to expand on your response, citing a greater amount of detail and information. This longer response should be at least one half page in length and should include all relevant facts from the chapter.
Also, you will be required to memorize the first and last names of our 45 presidents. Every two weeks, we will have a Presidents Quiz (PQ) as follows: PQ#1 = the first 8 presidents, PQ#2 = the first 19 presidents,
PQ#3 = the first 31 presidents, and PQ#4 = all 45 presidents.
