World History Syllabus
World History- Ms. Haider
Email- haiderl@mdusd.org
Website- http://cphs.mdusd.org/haider
Rm- J-6
Students in grade ten study major turning points that shaped the modern world, from the late eighteenth century through the present, including the cause and course of the two world wars. They trace the rise of democratic ideas and develop an understanding of the historical roots of current world issues, especially as they pertain to international relations. They extrapolate from the American experience that democratic ideals are often achieved at a high price, remain vulnerable, and are not practiced everywhere in the world. Students develop an understanding of current world issues and relate them to their historical, geographic, political, economic, and cultural contexts. Students consider multiple accounts of events in order to understand international relations from a variety of perspectives.
Course Objectives

-Master a broad body of historical knowledge
-Demonstrate an understanding of historical chronology

Binder-Keeping your binder organized is essential. All assignments must be kept in order (oldest in the front and newest in the back) and in the appropriate tabs. Binders will be checked once a quarter. Additionally your binder will be the best study tool for quizzes, midterms, and semester finals. You are required to keep all assignments until the end of the school year. I have spare binders for anyone who needs one.
Research Paper- 4th Quarter students will write a 4-6 page research paper and create a presentation based on their topic. Students will choose between Human Rights Violations or Natural Resource Conflicts. Students should choose a topic they are interested in researching.

Students are expected to be seated and silent at the end of class period. The end of the class period is our time to check in, turn in or check off the days work, and prepare for the next day.

CHEATING and COPYING: Any type of cheating on tests/quizzes, or copying and plagiarism on assignments or papers, is totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated. A zero will be assigned for any of these offences and it will be noted in the gradebook as plagiarism. Continued plagiarism will require a parent teacher conference and a will lead to referrals to the office.
