Week Nine

This Week

This week students are continuing to plug away on working on their trips. Spotty Internet has made this difficult, but really we only lost one day because of Internet difficulties, so currently we are continuing with the plan and every day we lose students get an extra day to complete the work. The day that Internet went out, I used the time to begin our unit on Macroeconomics and began lecturing on taxes. Hopefully, however, we'll be able to finish with this project without further interruption.

Upcoming Week

Next week students will have all week to complete their projects, which are now due on St. Patrick's Day, March 17th. Students will then present to the rest of their class. If you're interested in taking their trips, ask them to show you their completed website when we're done!

Here's a snapshot as of 3:00pm on Thursday of where we're at in the stock market challenge. Group 4 has maintained its sizable lead, and (sadly) I have have dropped down to just 1% overall return. Hopefully I'll catch up so I don't have to buy too many donuts...

At just 1% overall return, I'm falling dangerously behind... that's 4 groups for which I must buy donuts right now!

Have a great weekend!
