Ms. Morgan- 8th grade world history


Thank you for visiting my Schoolnotes site.  I hope that you find it helpful.  This information is intended as a guide.  Ultimately it's the student's responsibility to write down her/his homework in class and bring home the materials needed to complete the homework.

Also, a reminder that students need to make sure that their work is their own work and done in their own handwriting.  There is not a reason why two (or more) students should turn in work that is the same or very similar. 

Supplies needed for history class:

• 2 one subject notebooks*, with 8 1/2" x 11" lined pages and preferably a plastic cover
• a 2 pocket folder
• jumbo sized book cover
• green pens (to be used throughout the school year)
• colored pencils and/or markers (to be used at home)

*NOTE:  With the notebooks, one notebook will be used Sept. thru January while the other will be used late Jan. thru June.  You can leave one notebook at home if you want or I can keep the notebook in my room until we need it.

 **I added a website where I have assignments available to download.  Check out the class jump site below.***

8th GRADE LATE HOMEWORK POLICY-

The eighth grade team's late work policy allows for late work to be turned in for credit only by the end of that calendar week. If a child misses an assignment on Monday, they will be allowed to turn it in by that Friday, four days later. If a student misses an assignment on a Thursday, they will be allowed to turn it in by that Friday, the next day. Exceptions will be made for absences based on the rules in the student handbook. Work of greater importance (such as projects or research papers) may be given more time at the discretion of the teacher.

Late project clarification

My history handout, taped on p.1 in the notebook, explains my late policy regarding projects.  However, it somewhat unclear.  If a project is one or two days late, it loses one letter grade.  If a project is three or four days late, it loses two letter grades and so on for five, six, etc. days late.
