Instructor: C. Myers
Textbook: McDougal Littell: World Geography
Conference: 9:45- 10:35 AM AND 12:25- 1:20 PM
Class Website: www.orgsites.com/tx/wgeo
Student Objectives:
1. Student will be able to integrate other subject areas with World
Geography.
Classroom Guidelines:
1. It is expected that all students will be inside the classroom and
taking their seat when the final bell rings. I will be taking
attendance as soon as the bell rings and students arriving late
will receive a “T” on the attendance. I will give pop quizzes at the
beginning of class. If you are not in class on time, you will not be
permitted to take these quizzes unless you have an official
excuse from the office.
7. If absent, you are still responsible for any Reading Study Guide
homework posted on the website. Makeup tests will only be
given before school and made by appointment. Expect to have a
different test. Re-tests are available with a max score of 70%.
Any student skipping class will not be allowed to make up the
daily work or the test given that day. Cheating in the form of
talking, texting, note passing, etc. will be an automatic zero!
Don’t compromise your integrity.
8. School policy sets the exact number of days that you are allowed
to have unexcused absences from class. I do NOT believe in
giving out credit appeal applications no matter what your grade
is in class. However, I am ALWAYS available if you need extra
assistance before school or have any questions about the
material we are covering.
9. Each student may make up work until the 5th week during a 6
week grading period, however, I recommend that you makeup
work within 1 week of returning from an absence. If needed,
books may be checked out from the office and taken home to
complete assignments. I urge parents to check out books at the
beginning of the school year!
10. If you need to see the nurse, please ask for permission and
I will write you a pass to see the nurse.
Grading Policy:
The learner’s grade is based on the following scale and the following
calculations.
Tests 66.6%

Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can
go as far as you mind lets you. What you believe, you can achieve.
Mary Kay Ash
A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage,
the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice
the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.
Vince Lombardi
