Grades are not weighted. The points given on each individual assignment is based on the assignment. Ex: Test more than Quiz, Project more than Classroom Assignment.               

Homework in social studies usually consists of studying for the test or quiz, special projects, current events, maps, or enrichment activities.

Homework should not take more than 15-20 minutes most nights.

When studying for test, students should make flashcards, review study guide and notes taken in class, turn statements in their notes to questions and use the online interactive review. Studying is NOT just reading over the notes.
