Secure Forum: All MHS classes have a secure interactive forum to communicate with tutors, parents and classmates. Tutors will use this platform to communicate about classwork and assignments.
Parents and students access the forum by signing into the website using the username & password created on the membership form and clicking on "forum".
Assignments & Supplies: Binders will be handed out for organizing course work. Homework is assigned on our interactive course forums. Required supplies and books will be posted on the class forum throughout the year.
US History & Geography (8th - 12th Grade) (Tues & Thurs)
(1 Credit for High School)
We will use the Socratic discussion format, where students respond to open-ended questions impossible to answer with a simple yes or no, but require an explanation.
Students will defend their position through critical thinking, listen to other points of view, and analyze topics through small group discussion. They will use primary and secondary sources to provide evidence for their arguments.
A binder and copy of Take A Stand! - High School American History - Student Edition by John De Gree ISBN: 9781093623192 will be passed out to the students.
