Supplies

Textbook -(book covers are up to you) – fines are an important legal remedy!!
Notebook or paper to take notes (which are required)
Pen or pencil (mine are not for loan – you don’t get something for nothing!)

Course Content
Reading and discussion, questions and cases, study guides, field trips to court and
prison, quest speakers, current events, newspaper articles, videos, motivational games,

Homework
This is a college prep class! You will be required to do a lot of reading.

If you are gone on the day that notes are taken, you will either get them from another student or come in and copy from mine. Notes are required!

If you know that you will be gone in advance, the work must be completed before you leave unless we have made prior arrangements. THIS INCLUDES COLLEGE VISITS AND SCHOOL ACTIVITIES.

If you miss school the day a test is taken, you WILL NOT take the same test when you return. (No exceptions!) If you fail any test, you will be required to take a different test before or after school. If you don’t like your test score, you can always come in on your own time and take a different test. You will receive the best grade.
