Week Thirteen

A full week after a holiday is always a challenge!  I always plan on activities that involve some multimedia and/or computer time.  This encourages participation and focus from the students.  By Wednesday, I was able to settle back in with some new content and notes.  For example, in Economics class we watched a John Stossel video about Entrepreneurs being under attack by government regulation.  Afterwards, when my students were fired up about it, I introduced their final project for the semester, a break even point analysis of a business they need to begin!  In Government class, we watched a video on the suppressive tactics of Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Che...and then began a unit on the First Amendment!

The clock is ticking until Christmas Beak so I need to stay focused myself!
