laughing lioness Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Personally, I would go with the second option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefgazer Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I would separate out American history as a separate credit, as well, even if I taught the class as integrated world and American. Personally, I would go with the second option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie of KY Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I agree with separating World and US history since this is typical for transcripts. I ended up listing everything by subject and not listing grades at all. This enabled me to have courses that started mid 10th - mid 11th and also allowed us to highlight strengths on the transcript.

teachermom2834 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Yes to the separate American History. It is a requirement in my state and I would want it to every clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistachio mom Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 US History listed as a 1/2 credit for 2 years to accommodate the part 1 and part 2 might be an option. Colonial and Revolutionary War, Civil War, 1865 - present, you could name it by the era studied. You could also list the World History specifically: Ancient Civilizations, Medieval and European World History, etc.... with a 1/2 credit for each year. I did a little looking online and found lists of college courses for ideas for names. Much information is available. Organizing your transcript by subject might help this flow better. Personally, I would see how it would work in a course description before I name the course. As long as the content makes sense - so college admissions offices can understand how your student got his grades.... you have flexibility to spread the required content to 2 years.

EKS Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 If you are arranging the transcript by year I would do this: 9th World Geography 1.0 cr 10th World History to 1500 (or whatever you did) 0.5 cr United States History to 1850 (or whatever you did) 0.5 cr 11th World History 1500 to present (or whatever you did) 0.5 cr United States History to 1850 to present (or whatever you did) 0.5 cr 12th United States Government 0.5 cr Economics 0.5 cr If you're arranging by subject: Social Science (or Social Studies or whatever you want to call it) World Geography 1.0 cr World History 1.0 cr United States History 1.0 cr United States Government 0.5 cr Economics 0.5 cr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
