The Pre-AP
Texas History class is designed to prepare students for the high school AP
History classes where the students can earn college credit for taking the high
school classes and passing an end-of-the-year history exam.
This is a
college track class thus requirements and demands are more involved and
difficult for the students.
Objectives
of the class :
1.
complete more involved assignments that require the students to
think instead of just recalling facts.
2.
develop intellectual curiosity.
3.
be aware and develop an interest in current events.
4.
design and construct projects that actually work.
5.
research.
6.
create maps, editorial cartoons and written projects.
7.
do your best on every assignment.
Some assignments are layered
so that a student must use a rubric to
create an assignment and then a test will be taken on the assignment. The success on the test will depend on how
well the assignment was completed by the student.
8.
have a positive attitude to learn.
9.
exhibit the maturity that is required for this college-track class.
10. discuss current problems that face the
students as they become tax paying citizens.
11. be responsible and organized.
12. use the computer in all phases of
learning.
The class
is designed to develop an independent learner who possesses the knowledge, skills
and habits of mind to make rational and informed judgments concerning the past,
present and future.
If the
student is open-minded and gets involved, this history class will be fun,
interesting and rewarding.
In the
past, you had to memorize knowledge because there was a cost to finding
it. Now, what cant you find in 30
second or less? We live an
open-book-test life that requires a completely different skill set. Mark Cuban
