The Last Best Hope, By William J. Bennett One-Year U.S. History Course Using Volume II Enhanced and Covering 1877 to the Present
I choose this text as the focal point of our American Studies II History Course for the following reasons. In this sweeping tale of human initiative, struggle and victory, Dr. Bennett captures what is unique about America. With riveting stories about presidents, senators, first ladies, and inventors, this is no ordinary textbook. Dr Bennett doesn’t just report history; he puts readers right in the middle of the action.
Dr. Bennett’s aim in writing America: The Last Best Hope, is to examine our history rightly, to present the entirety of our firmament in order to see what our Founders saw we could be, what foreigners who came here saw, and what we ourselves can—even today—see once again. Take the time to get acquainted with www.roadmaptothelastbesthope.com a supplement for the text.
Shortly after he issued a preliminary draft of the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln wrote to Congress saying, “We shall nobly save or meanly lose this last best hope of earth.” Bennett’s book reminds us, despite obstacles, setbacks, stupidities, and atrocities that America was, is, and we pray, will continue to be the last best hope of earth.

Specific Guidelines
Journal Entries- From time to time either to reflect on the homework assignment or following a class discussion I will ask you to write a few sentences starting with some phrases like these. I learned.. .Or I was surprised... Or I'm beginning to wonder... Or I'm gaining a better understanding of... Or I cannot agree with... Or I would like to find out more about...
I'm here to help- If you have problems or questions I am here to help. See me before school (I get here by 7:30), before class, 3rd period, at lunch, during break or after school. I stay for at least a half-hour and will stay longer. I will make study sessions available when needed.
Prayer - Please remind me to pray before we start the day's lesson. Students should remind me in an appropriate fashion (raising their hand and waiting to be called upon). The first student to remind me in an appropriate manner to pray will receive extra credit as a way of saying " thank you ".
Absences- Students have the number of days they are absent to make up work. All absent work should be turned in marked " absent" after an absence. If you miss my class but you were at school for any part of the day (sports, drama, sick at the nurse, etc.) you must turn in your assignments that day before the end of school. Long-term projects are due on the assigned date regardless of whether you can come to class that day. If you are not sure what is considered a "long-term project" and what is not it would be in your best interest to turn the assignment in question in on the day it is due.
Late work - Students can turn in any assignment late for half credit. The deadline for homework turned in late is the day of the chapter test that the assignment pertains to. No late work is accepted after the deadline - no exceptions. Please turn it in marked "Late"
Plagiarism - All work turned into me should be the students own work. Plagiarism includes but is not limited to: copying someone's answers on a test, homework, or other assignment; letting someone copy answers on a test, homework, or other assignment; copying information from a book, magazine, encyclopedia, web site, or other source and portraying this information as something you have written. Working with someone else should not produce identical answers to every question. You are not prohibited from working with a friend, but you are expected to form separate responses.
Extra credit- Extra credit assignments will be given from time to time. Extra credit cannot exceed 3% of the student's total points for the quarter. One extra credit assignment that students can take advantage of is as follows:
• Using the pages assigned for homework, create a time line highlighting the events described in the assigned reading.
Extra credit is to be turned in along with the homework assignment.
