Teacher Information:

Teacher: Ms Tufts

Email: Katie.tufts@nbed.nb.ca

 

Course Description:

This course is designed with the intention of exploring all aspects of Canadian identity.  The idea of social studies is to enable and encourage students to examine issues, respond critically and creatively and make informed decisions as individuals and as citizens of Canada and of an increasingly interdependent world.

Topics:

We will cover topics including culture, geography, politics, immigration, world issues and history.  Students will have assignments and projects to work on, on the days they are not at school.

Extra Help:

If at any time a student is having difficulty, extra help is available during lunch hour.

 

Terms 1 and 2

70%

Quizzes and Tests 30%

Projects 30%

Homework  40%

Final

30%

Final exam *Tentative*

 

Absenteeism and marks 

A legitimate absence is for school related activities, illness or bereavement.   

 

Group marks 

Group marks will be earned based on your days present and working with your team.  For example, if a project takes ten class days to complete and the group receives a mark of 80%; but you were only there for 5 days you would receive a 40%.  Even if you have a legitimate reason for being absent the expectation is that you will make up for the time you missed by contributing to the group from home or working during study block when you are able.  Alternatively, if you know you are going to be absent you may choose to work alone if the teacher gives you that option. 

 

In-class project marks

You will be marked based on the number of days that you are present and participating in class.  If, for example, you earn a shop mark of 70% and you were there 90% of the time your mark would be 63%.

 

Late assignment policy: 

·         To get full marks, assignments need to be handed in by the assigned due date. 

·         For every date late, after the assignment due date, 10% will be deducted from the mark (up to a maximum of 40%).  Weekends count as one day. 

·         If a student is absent on a due date, a written legitimate excuse from a parent or guardian must be presented upon the student’s return, or the late-day deductions will apply. 

·         A student’s mark cannot be lower than 60% given that the student deserves a passing grade on the assignment to begin with.  Any work getting a mark of less than 60% will receive that grade. 

·         In order to be graded, all work must be handed in no later than one week after the given due date of the assignment.  Term marks are final.
