World-Economics

World: We finished up 1421 today and opened up discussion related to the evidence presented.  Feel free to check out the 1421 website if you wish for more information. 1421 Website.

In class tomorrow, you will complete  an essay.  Arrive to class with a brainstorm or outline so you are organized and ready to compose your response.  The basic underlying idea of the prompt is, were the Chinese the first to reach America?  Remember, you will have to cite three pieces of evidence with well reasoned arguments to support your claim/position.  Our goal is to use the lab for you to compose your essay; however, if there is a scheduling conflict in the lab, be prepared to write. The essay will be due at the end of the class period. Again, it is to your benefit to come to class prepared.

Economics: We reviewed Equilibrium, then moved in to business structures.  We will continue with that activity tomorrow.  Due tomorrow, Chart Analysis for 8.1-8.3.  The characteristics, advantages and disadvantages for business structures.
