Submitted work will be assessed and graded Missed Exams and Late Papers: Outside of sudden illness and unforeseen circumstances, missed exams will receive a zero. If for some reason you will be absent on the day of the exam, arrangements to take the exam during a different class period must be made prior to the day of the exam. Papers will lose 10 (ten) points for every day they are late. Papers will only be accepted up to five (5) days past the due date. If you face circumstances that will prevent you from turning the paper in on time, please notify me in advance. I will determine what accommodations should be made on a case-by-case basis.

Welcome students! This US Government course for high school students, helps students understand the founding principles of American government.

This semester-long course is 100% online, taken asynchronously with no specific “live” sessions, or meeting time requirements. It will prepare students for university, and help them become independent learners! Asynchronous courses are great for students who prefer a flexible schedule!

⭐️ Weekly ⭐️
Each Monday a video and/or PowerPoint will be posted to review concepts of the week’s topics, as well as a related assignment 
- Students will take a picture of their assignment to upload to the classroom after completing 
- Students will be asked to respond to the discussion questions that will be posted in the classroom 

The American experiment has protected our freedoms in ways that we take for granted and make us the envy of the world. It is our duty, as Americans to be engaged and informed citizens – and this class will help each student become just that!  

We will discuss Leadership in Congress, who the current leaders of each party are and what their roles are. This is a great opportunity for students to put a name to the faces they see on TV and better understand how their government should work (for them!). 

⭐️ Learning Goals and Topics ⭐️
- Understand the structure and procedures of local, state, and federal governments 
- Read complex texts and understand them 
- Learn and utilise research skills to interpret and apply information 
- The Constitution, Civil Rights & Liberties, Government Institutions, Participation in Government, Public Policy


⭐️ Prior to First Class ⭐️
Please come prepared to the first class, having read the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution: Preamble, Articles I-VII and the Bill of Rights. Next year is the year of the Presidential election; students are expected to keep up to date with election coverage of not only the Presidential election but also House and Senate seats.

Students will not only understand the concepts and ideas presented to them, but also be able to apply them to a vast number of situations in the future.
