2 GENERAL COURSE DESCRIPTION & EXPECTATIONS: Advanced Placement U.S. Government and Politics will give students an analytical perspective on government and politics in the United States. This course includes both the study of general concepts used to interpret U.S. politics and the analysis of specific contemporary examples. It also requires students to familiarize themselves with the various institutions, groups, beliefs, and ideas that constitute our political system. The major topics to be examined are: o Constitutional Underpinnings of U.S. Government o Civil Rights and Civil Liberties o Institutions of National Government o Political Beliefs and Behaviors o Public Policy o Political Parties, Interest Groups, and Mass Media Because this course is the equivalent of a college course and in order for students to perform well on the AP National Exam, students must meet the high expectations of the course and share the responsibility for mastery of the course objectives. This involves the careful reading of the textbook, class participation, cooperation, and collaboration, as well as the knowledge and application of current examples of contemporary American politics. READING: The text is designed for college and university students. In order to be successful in a course of this type, students need to maximize their time, through proper organization and time management skills, to complete all assigned reading prior to class discussion. In addition to the text, students will be required to read portions of the supplemental reader, news articles, and other additional sources. GROUP WORK: For the purpose of some reading assignments, and your research and policy papers, students will periodically be placed in groups. Establishing a good rapport within the group is key to success in the class and will help students manage the amount of reading required. CURRENT EVENTS: Knowledge of contemporary political events is essential for the analytical focus that must be exhibited in research papers and FRQs. Students will be responsible for knowledge of current events and how to analyze those events in light of our studies. It is highly recommended that students expose themselves to as many political types of media as possible. In addition to the major national newspapers like The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, etc., the Congressional Quarterly Weekly Report is a good source of political news. All provide news of contemporary events, and analysis of those events, as well. All have websites that can be accessed. Also, the cable news networks (CNN, Fox, & MSNBC) collectively provide commentary of all political positions. o GRADES: Tests/projects count 60% of your grade, homework/classroom assignments count 35%, and daily planner will count for 5% of your 6 weeks grade. o Late work will receive a 25 point grade reduction on the assignment for each day late, up to 2 days. After 2 days- you will NOT receive credit o Exams may also be corrected/retaken (see policy below) and must be corrected in the given time period during tutoring or homeroom only! o It is your responsibility to get your work if you are absent. Most assignments and projects can be submitted online. DO NOW: Each day there will be an activity to complete when you walk into the room. It must be completed within the first 10 minutes of class and will be graded at the end of the 6 weeks. HOMEWORK A majority of your homework will be reading, discussion board questions, and notetaking. YOU MUST COMMIT TO READING!
3 EXAMS: As review for the AP test, we will be answering free response questions from previous tests throughout the year in reviewing for the exam. Previous multiple choice questions will also be presented and answered. All tests will be written AP format, prepare yourself, they're not easy! There will be an exam at the end of each chapter/unit. You will take a FRQ exam and a multiple choice exam. Exams will cover materials from the text, assigned readings, homework, and class discussions. You are expected to read, study, and be prepared for exams. You may retake an FRQ (a new question) and still score up to 100% and you may also make corrections to m/c questions for ½ credit back. Corrections/retakes MUST be completed within one week of the original exam during homeroom or tutorials ONLY! QUIZZES: Quizzes will be given periodically at my discretion over vocabulary or Primary Sources. BEHAVIOR: The Code of Conduct as outlined in the Student Handbook will be followed. This is an advanced course. If you are not mature enough to behave yourself, you are probably not mature enough to be successful in this course. PHONES: We will use your cell phone OFTEN for learning. Bring a charger. Please respect the learning environment NO social media, No games! I m here to teach and you chose to be here to learn! My EXPECTATIONS for the students in my classes are as follows: 1. Be on time. Be prepared. Be respectful. Do your BEST. Follow directions. 2. No student will be allowed out of the classroom the 1st or last 15 minutes of class. (You will be allowed 2 restroom/water passes per 6 weeks which will be documented in your planner. You will not be allowed out of class without your planner) 3. All ECISD and Permian rules will be enforced! CHAMPS! DAILY PROCEDURES Enter classroom with ID on correct lanyard around your neck and in proper dress code with your supplies (no locker, no car, no locker room, no friend/teacher in another class) Roll call, bell work, and planner Get your assignment if you were absent Lecture/Lesson/Test etc. All assignments, tests, etc. go in the basket for your class period. GRIEVANCES: If you disagree with a grade or policy, please come talk to me about it. I may not change it, but it will give me a chance to explain in greater detail. I cannot address your concerns if you do not talk to me. TUTORIALS: 8:00 am or during homeroom. If you have difficulty in understanding the material, please come to see me. I will also stay after school if prior arrangements are made. My is dshannon.mendez@ectorcountyisd.org or use the Remind if you need to get in touch with me at any time. You may also submit assignments via (which is highly encouraged!)
