Tenth grade students will take this leveled course which combines American History and Literature approximately through the period of Reconstruction. It includes the foundations of American Democracy and the workings of our government. Traditional writing and reading assignments will be developed in relation to historical themes. For example, one unit may be the Constitution as a piece of classic literature. Although the concentration will be on American Literature, other periods and types of literature will be looked at in relation to the appropriate themes. American Literature will be incorporated with the cultural perspective providing the backdrop.

Behavior Expectations Good behavior counts for 40% of your total grade. It is broken down into participation 15% and effort 25%, but this grade is highly affected by attitude. If you have 100% for a grade and a negative attitude, you could end up with 60%. There are many students who do all of the work to the best of their ability, in a positive way, and receive 100% for their grade at the end of the year.
