World-Economics-12th Focus

World: We finished debriefing Zinn (first reading) today and explored the hero myth associated with Columbus.  You viewed a cartoon which perpetuated the hero myth and we discussed the risks of promoting such myths.  You shared your top 5 Zinn lessons from the reading and identified what Zinn warns against when teaching and learning history.

Due Tomorrow: Cornell Notes 201.1 Conquest. 

At this point you should be able to compare and contrast the Chinese explorations with the European Explorations.  Are there similarities and differences?

Economics: We were in the lab today.  Module 1 of EverFi should be completed. If not, please do so at  home. I'm looking for feed back tomorrow.  Remember to read material associated with Savings in text (see yesterday's post) and to compile a running record of vocabulary.

Due Thursday, 2 memo's related to Business Organizations.

12th Focus: Transition from HS to College...Step 1 Journey on the Web.
