Personal Finance: (All periods except 2nd and 7th) - This week we completed the car buying project which included three phases: a research phase - researching and choosing cars; a spreadsheet phase - putting the information for our realistic car and dream car on spreadsheets to calculate monthly payments based on interest rates; and a report phase - pulling all components together in a report. The report (a project grade) was due today. Monday, we will begin a unit on the Stock Market.



Introduction to Business (2nd period): On Wednesday, we had a quiz on chapter 3 (closed note). On Thursday, we began note taking on Chapter 4 (Social Responsibility of Business and Government). We discussed business ethics today. Homework for Friday: Students had to develop their own "Code of Ethics", similar to a sample provided in class. Students were given time in class to complete this homework, but may finish the assignment over the weekend if they didn't finish it today.
