Introduction to Business: (1st period) Last week, students worked in groups to create presentations based on Chapter 2. We broke the chapter into four sections and each group discussed its section using a Power Point presentation. Students were graded on their presentations. We will have a graded assignment tomorrow that is based on the presentations and the notes the students took. Chapter 2 will be reviewed on Wednesday, and there will be a chapter test on Thursday. Students had an additional assignment on this past Friday...they read two current articles with differing opinions as to whether the US has come out of the recession. A worksheet with questions was to be completed based on their reading...this counted as a quiz grade.
Economics and Personal Finance: (2nd, 4th, 5th - 7th periods) We began Unit 2: Managing Energy, Money, and Tasks. The focus last week was on money management. Students were give the case studies of two individuals and had to create budgets: 1st on paper and then in Excel using formulas. We will complete the last budget tomorrow and it will be turned in. Wednesday, we will discuss task or time management, review the entire unit on Thursday and test on the unit on Friday. Students read articles last Friday about budgeting, budgeting for college, and a college checklist for high school students. They had to complete a worksheet based on their reading...this counted as a quiz grade. Today, we worked on current events related to finance, business, or technology---this assignment will be a daily grade.
