Church History and Culture Mr. Brown

Course Number : 015 Course length : 2 Semesters Course Credit : 1 credit Room Number : E-33 Student Year : 10 Prerequisites : None. Course is required for graduation.

The course is a study of the history of the Catholic Church from its early tribulations to the present as seen as a part of Salvation History, God’s work among His people. Instruction focuses on the history of the Church as the embodiment of Christ’s Incarnation in history and culture. Focus will include the great eras and key personalities, such as the great saints of each age. During second semester instruction focuses on assisting students in developing a deeper awareness of the direction taken by the Holy Spirit in guiding the Church through exploring the documents of Vatican II and the pontificate of Pope John Paul II. In addition the history of the Church in the USA will be discussed as well as matters of importance to local Church history. The course stresses the contribution of our Catholic faith to civilization, as seen variously in art, architecture, music, letters, etc. Students are expected to complete individual / collaborative assignments and projects.

Homework, Assignments and Tests:

The Start of Class: When the students enter the classroom and there will be questions on the overhead, on the board, a reading assignment or directions to study for a quiz or a test. Students will immediately, without talking, begin working on the assignment. Students will be silent once they enter the classroom and will not wait for the bell to stop talking. The first five to ten minutes of class will be devoted to quietly working on the assignment on the board.

Class Reading: When there is a reading assignment on the board at the start of class, the students will quietly read the assignment. The reading may be in from the text, or from the Scriptures. If the reading is from the Bible, the students may proceed to the shelf where the Bibles are located and take one back to their seat. Please do not write in the school Bibles. Also, please be prepared to discuss the reading assignment.

Homework Reading: Parts of the text may be assigned to be read as homework. Unannounced quizzes may follow these reading assignments. Be prepared to discuss these in class as well.

Homework Questions: Questions will be assigned in class. All assigned questions will be copied down and then answered on a single piece of paper. These will typically be due on Wednesday.

Papers and Other Assignments: Three research papers will be assigned each semester. Other assignments will be assigned as I think of them.

Tests: Tests are typically given on Wednesday or Thursday.

Notes: How you keep your notes is up to you, but the recommendation is that you have a notebook specifically for this subject. There will be a lot of notes in this class. They will be given on the board, on an overhead or by dictation.

Late Work: A student can receive 100% on an assignment if it is turned in on the day it is due. If an assignment is one day late, a grade no higher than 75% will be received. If an assignment is two days late or later, and you have no acceptable reason (such as an illness or death in the family) you will receive 0%.

Failing Grades: If you do not do your homework or do not make up tests and you have a failing grade in my class, you are allowed to turn in late work. You can turn in this late work until you grade reaches a “D”. After that, you are on your own.

Mr. Brown’s Classroom Rules

1. Follow the classroom rules already posted on the bulletin board.

2. Follow the rules and guides already found in your student handbook.

3. Bathroom passes will be written only when strictly necessary.

4. If you want to contribute with a question or comment, great – raise your hand and wait until it’s your turn to talk (your turn is when I call on you).

5. Refrain from doing other teacher’s hmework during my class.

6. Refrain from sleeping. If I am boring you, let me know privately and in a polite way.

7. Cheating is a violation of the seventh commandment. It is dishonest, horrible for your character development and usually a sin. Please refrain from cheating.

8. Use common sense whenever possible.

9. Treat other people like persons. Basically, treat them as you would want to be treated, even your teacher.

10. Absolutely no gum in my class. 11. Do not argue with your teacher. We can discuss, and you can disagree, but we will not be arguing.
