Hi everyone,
Here is what I have scheduled for the upcoming week:
Computers 1
We will continue working on flyers in class. At the end of the week, each student will design a flyer for an event of his/her choice using the design tools we have used in class.
Business Concepts 1
On Monday, study guides 1.3 and 1.4 are due and we will review chapter 1. On Tuesday, we will take a test over chapter 1 and I will collect notes. On Wednesday, students will begin creating PowerPoints about identity theft and we will begin chapter 15, over consumer protection. There should not be any other outside homework.
Business Law
On Monday, chapter 1 study guides are due and we will review. On Tuesday, we will take a test over chapter 1 and I will collect notes. On Wednesday and Thursday, students will watch a movie about Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme and on Friday they will write about what they saw.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one!

2012 - 2013 school year
Hi everyone,
It's hard to believe, but it's the start of yet another school year. This week's post will have a short description of each class as well as the schedule for the first week.
Business Concepts 1
This class is considered a consumer education credit. Students will learn about real-life scenarios, such as finding a job, making smart buying decisions, filing taxes, using a checkbook, using credit cards, etc. The class is one semester in length and is a graduation requirement.
This week, we will be starting chapter 1, about the economy. We will be taking notes in class and completing activities related to the content. Study guides for the chapter will be passed out on Tuesday, with the first two sections being due Friday.
Computers 1
This class covers both Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. Students will learn how to create flyers, reports, and letterheads in Word during the first quarter. Excel will be introduced during the second quarter when students create charts and graphs for various data. The class is one semester in length and is a graduation requirement. There will not be work to take home for this class, as it is all completed in the computer lab. However, students will be responsible for studying for tests.
This week we will be starting a project in Word about creating flyers.
Business Law
This is an elective for junior and seniors worth 1/2 credit. The course covers the creation of law at various levels, different types of laws, and the creation of contracts. Students will do writing and critical thinking throughout the semester. This week, we will start chapter 1. Students will read an actual U.S. Supreme Court case and create a brief (summary) of the case. There should not be any outside homework.
That should be it for this week. Have a good one!
