.
Students MUST have a notebook and textbook for
every class period.
* Responsibility:
These are contained in the handout
* Consequences of Actions:
There are rewards or sanctions for what we do, we
must learn to accept these and we must learn to
do what is expected of us.
* Unintended consequences:
In some cases we must think of some consequences
that we have not planned on, our actions can
impact others or impact conduct of others toward
us, we must accept even these unintended
consequences even if they have a negative impact
on us.
* Time-Management skills:
We must learn to juggle several responsibilities,
jobs, school, work, parent request, friend’s
desires. In some case we must learn to
prioritize, decide which is better for us not now
but to our future.
* Thinking Skills:
a)Recall- repeat what we read or learned.
Who were the philosophes?
b)Processing- manipulate the information.
Put information in order, explain why it
happened.
c)Application- Add your own meaning. What
do you think of the Tennis Court Oath?
* Listening Skills:
This seems to be a lost art, I think it is
important in the learning process to hear
information. This will be facilitated by teacher
talk. “God gave us two ears but one mouth, so we
should listen twice as much as we talk."
* Cooperation
* Importance of an educated and active citizenry
* Creativity
* The students are required to keep a daily notebook that would include the following:
* class notes from lectures, power point presentations, overheads
or exercises student activities;
* notes given in class that set up or supplemented cooperative
learning assignments;
* notes that were taken during their cooperative learning periods;
* exercises used to review the students effort (examples of these
exercises would be concept webs, charts , writing facts to support
generalizations and explaining the effect or cause of events or actions.)
The grade will depend on the completeness and quality of the work as well as the
following of the criteria that was distributed to the students in the student responsibility
handouts at the beginning of the year.

A+ all work was completed in a superior fashion and all criteria
was followed.
