Economics-Focus-World

Economics:  Economic systems presentation was today.  Nice job with the visual overview.  Be sure you understand the basic underlying concepts of the systems covered. This activity was a supplement to the chapter II material.  There are two parts for you to complete.  First choose what you feel is the ideal economic system, and they write two journal entries in the areas provided within the economic systems packet.  We will use this material to start class on Monday after break.  Until then, have a wonderfully restful and fun break!

Focus:  2nd blog post was due today.  After break we will begin working with glogster.   Until then, have a wonderfully restful and fun break!

World:  I will grade your short essay on Menzies over break. Grades will be posted by April 8, but your papers will be returned to you on the Monday of our return.  Today we took a global view of explorations through primary source analysis. After break we will finish up exploration and take a test on the material covered from Science - Explorations. Not to worry, I will give you an informative assessment to help you study.  There is no homework over break, but if you have time, do some reviewing of the material to identify struggle points... We will continue with the debriefing of the sources and explorations on Monday after break.  Have a wonderfully restful & fun break.
