World Geography * Gov/Econ * Journalism "The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom, and with all your acquiring, get understanding." Proverbs 4:7 I love to work with teenagers, especially those ready to take on the world. I try really hard to make every class applicable to life through hands on experiences. But they can't complete the tasks with out the proper tools. What you need...World Geography: 3 ring binder w/slip in clear front, 5 dividers, loose leaf paper, notecards, colored pencils, zippered pencil case, 3 ring map (world on 1 side/USA on other) $2.95 @ school box Government/Economics: 3 ring binder w/slip in clear front, 5 dividers, pencils, zippered pencil case, 3 2 pocket folders w/tabs (green, red, blue) Journalism/photography: 1 meg thumb drive (class is held in the lab and they will be bringing their work back and forth on the thumb drive), digital camera (can share, will not necessarily need it for whole year), computer access Syllabus...

Important Information
PLEASE READ!
1. Please be on time for class, late arrivals limit the amount of information I teach to your student.
2. Remember I am here to help, just contact me: mslargin@richardsacademy.com or 770-645-2846. (please do not call after 9 PM) 3. Everyone will receive a syllabus on the first day of school. Please keep one in your notebook and one at home. Any changes to it will be given in class and emailed. 4. I do not accept late work, nor do I reschedule exams. Please plan to attend or make plans prior if you are not able to attend class that day. (get notes from a friend, schedule exam early, etc) 5. I give lots of projects and there is plenty of time to complete them. Start IMMEDIATELY, do not wait. I usually give one class time between projects called "team time" to work in class, but ALL RESEARCH needs to be done BEFORE coming to class. This gives me the opportunity to make sure you are on the right path. 6. Disruptive or inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. The classroom is designed for the student who wants to learn. Students who inhibit the learning process will be removed from the class. 7. I believe in giving rewards where a reward is due. With that being said, I will exempt your student from midterms and/or final exams if they have an "A" and less than 2 absences or a "B" and less than 1 absence. Your student is always welcome to take the test to better their grade. 8. My grade scale is as follows: 100-90 = A 89-80 = B 79-75 = C 74 -0 = F I love what I do and I hope you students enjoy my class.
