Week of September 17 - 21
Hi everyone,
Well, it's homecoming week again. This week tends to be a bit less productive than other weeks in the school year, but here is what I'm hoping to get accomplished.
Computers 1
We will start the second chapter in Word this week, over research papers. Students will not actually be writing papers, but they will be setting them up in MLA format, by learning how to create in-text citations, create a works cited page, etc. There will be no outside homework.
Business Concepts
We will continue chapter 9 this week over careers. Students will research two careers of interest to them and we will discuss job applications and interviews. Study guides 9.1 and 9.2 will be due on Thursday and study guides 9.3 and 9.4 will be due next Monday. All other work will be completed in class.
Business Law
This week we will start chapter 4 over criminal law. All homework/activities should be completed in class.
That's it for this week. Have a good one!

Week of September 3 - 7
Hi everyone,
I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend. Here is what I have planned for the upcoming four-day week.
Computers 1
We will continue working on flyers. It's going a bit slower than I had planned, which is fine, but we won't be starting independent flyers until the end of this week. No outside homework or tests this week.
Business Concepts 1
We will continue chapter 15 over consumer protection. We will be taking notes and completing various activities in class, including looking at Consumer Reports magazines and finding out about the Better Business Bureau. Study guides over sections 1 and 2 will be due on Friday and the study guide for section 3 will be due on the following Monday.
Business Law
On Tuesday and Wednesday, students will research how law has been effected by technology. On Thursday, we will start chapter 3 over the court system. There should be no outside homework.
I think that's it for this week. Have a good one!
