Week of September 23

Hi everyone,

I have been grading all day today and should have new grades posted in TeacherEase this evening. If not this evening, definitely before 9 a.m. tomorrow. Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled this week on Thursday evening and on Friday afternoon. I hope many of you will have a chance to stop by my room.

Here is what I have planned for this week:

Computers 1
Students will continue typing MLA formatted reports, using correct citation methods. No test this week.

Business Concepts
We will continue the chapter on careers this week. Each student will write a short paragraph about a career that he/she researched and will compare it with values, interests, and abilities. Later in the week, they will fill out Subway applications and learn about proper interviewing behavior. Study guides for this chapter will be due on Monday, September 30.

Business Law
We will continue the chapter on criminal law this week. Students will be put into groups to complete research projects on famous criminal trials. Each group will write a paper, create a PowerPoint, and give a presentation to the class about their famous criminal trial. These presentations will be given sometime next week. Study guides for this chapter will be due on Friday.

I think that's it for this week. Have a good one!
