每週 4+ 小時. Twelve (12) Quizzes - 1/week Three (3) Non-Cumulative Exams: Fill in, identifiers, definitions, matching etc. These exams will require you to not only memorize the information from the lectures, readings, etc., but also apply the ideas and concepts to other situations to ensure you truly have a handle of the information. There will be one paper. Students will choose their own topics, each requiring written approval from the instructor. Other miscellaneous assignments including, but not limited to: pop-quizzes, reading comprehension worksheets, and a letter-writing assignment.
評估
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.

美國 9 - 12 年級
⭐️This FLEX course is worth 1/2 a High School Credit — take part 2/2 for a full year, 1 credit course. ⭐️

AP, Honors Option: 
This class is taught at a standard level, however, I am able to offer additional work for AP and Honors placement. If you would like your student to take this class at an AP or honors level - please contact me.

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.

⭐️ Assignments and Grades ⭐️

Twelve (12) Quizzes - 1/Week 

Three (3) Non-Cumulative Exams:
Fill in, identifiers, definitions, matching etc.

Part two for 1 full high-school credit 

The 2nd unit of the course will introduce students to the topic of Economics and the Free Market. We will cover introductory themes of Micro and Macro Economics, supply and demand and the role of the Free Market in the American Founding.

By the end of the two-part course, students will understand features of the United States political system, such as Federalism, the branches of government, the Electoral College and political parties. As a class we will explore the United States Constitution and its importance to the survival of our Republic. 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.

學習目標

We will
- study the political processes to gain an understanding of the role of individuals in the decision-making process of the American government
- learn about the rights and responsibilities of the citizens of the United States. 
- investigate American government though a variety of methods, including examining primary source documents, conducting research projects, class discussion, and a written essay
