Course Objectives:
In this course, we will study a combination of English and U.S. History with the goal
of building a comprehensive understanding of both subjects. We will accomplish this
through a study of both historical literature, documents, and events. In doing so, we aspire:
1) To assess and further develop reading and writing skills.
2) To further develop critical thinking and problem solving skills.

Textbook and Other Course Materials:
Students will be using a number of historical texts, documents, and speeches along
with several historical literary works. All supplemental reading will be provided by the
teacher.
Lateness Policy:
Students are expected to arrive for class on time. Given that 7th and 8th grade boys
classrooms are two floors apart (at most), lateness should be minimal. Considering this, for
every 3 times a student is late, his final grade will drop by - i.e., A to A- or D- to F.
_ ___________________________________________________________________
Homework:
Homework will be assigned regularly with clear due dates and will also be posted on
the class website. Assignments must be submitted on-time, neatly written or typed and
submitted electronically.
Late Assignments:
Assignments are due at the beginning of each class period and are considered late if
handed in at any point thereafter. Homework grades will drop by for each day it is late.
For example, Check Plus (100pts) drops to Check (85pts); Check drops to Check Minus
(70pts); Check Minus drops to Opts. Students with excused absences approved by Mr.
Duffy will be allowed to turn in their work within one day of their return to school. Late
papers will lose 10 points credit for each day they are late.

Quizzes and Exams:
Quizzes will always be announced ahead of time to allow for a study/review period
and will be based on material covered in class and assigned as homework.
