Mansfield High School
Ancient World History
Mr. Aaron Gray
Course Description: World History is a two semester course worth one social studies elective credit.
World History will start with the beginnings of man and follow their patterns from early human hunter gatherer groups to the Middle Ages (around 1450). Topics that are covered but are not limited to the four early civilizations (Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt, the Middle East, and ancient China), the spreading of people globally, farming, transition to communities, and advancements of man.
Grading Policy: Refer to student handbook
Missed, Make-Up, and Late Work: Refer to student handbook
Assessments: Student mastery will be measured on a regular basis using a variety of quizzes, exams, and projects. The quizzes will be a combination of announced and unannounced, generally measuring one or two learning objectives, and be of limited point value. Exams will be preannounced and measure several learning objectives. Projects will be assigned and measure two to four learning objectives. There will be a comprehensive first semester and second semester final exam.
Academic Dishonesty: Refer to student handbook
Absence and Tardy Policy: Refer to student handbook
Students will need for class: paper, pen or pencil, folder, device (only if they have one), additional items will be needed as projects are assigned.
I expect all students to be prepared for class and respect the ideas and opinions of others. Additionally, I expect all students to have an open mind and be prepared to work hard and achieve the best grade possible in class.
