Today the students completed the Chapt. 10 Chapt. Review #'s 1-10. They were also given time to study for the Final on the 20th. Papers were all passed back and grades posted. Tomorrow I will collect the Journal entries and include today's bookwork in the grades for the final grades to be calculated for the final. Here are the Journals you should have: WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU HAD ONE HOUR TO LIVE? IF YOU WERE 18 AND COULD CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR BODY, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE IF ANYTHING? HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF SOMEONE LIED TO YOU FOR 6 MONTHS STRAIGHT? WHAT'S THE ONE "GOOD" THING YOU'VE EVER DONE? WHAT'S THE NICEST THING YOUR MOM EVER DID FOR YOU?


YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR FINAL STUDY GUIDES AND BE STUDYING FOR YOU FINAL FOR THESE LAST DAYS!

Today and yesterday the students were in the computer labs working on their papers. They will not be going to the computer labs Friday.

Today the students had a JOURNAL entry that asked if they had someone in their school that could pull the trick that the young lady did in D.C (telling everyone for 6 months that she was pregnant) would they pull off a stunt like that? How would they feel is someone they knew pulled the stunt and what would they do if they could get away with it?
We also went to the computer lab to begin working on their drug research paper. Any topic is available with the exception of Marijuana. We will be going back to the computer lab for the remainder of the week, and the paper is due on Monday.
