Week Twelve

Only two days of school this week beause of Thanksgiving Break.  Economics students were busy with Stocksquest simulation (more on this later) and Government students completed a First Amendment newsletter that we titled "The Rabble Rouser".  Each student created their own version of the newsletter by gathering Bill of Rights headlines from three websites;  Freedom Forum, The Bill of Rights Institute, and the ACLU.  They had to choose one main headline with a catchy name or phrase...like the Daily News does.
Besides those basic criteria I let the students shape the project with their creativity.  It worked out very well!
