Hi Everyone,
First thing on Monday your Advertisement Analysis assignment is due. It was assigned a week ago and you had some class time to find an ad and work on it so they should all be handed in on time. I look forward to seeing them soon. I'll also return your business cartoon assignments and your Ch. 9 tests as well.
Don't forget to get your cartoon and "What Was I Thinking?" worksheets in if you haven't already.
This week we will be continuing on in Ch.11- Saving and Investing. Last week we learned the reasons why people save, as well as the benefits of savings accounts in financial institutions. We also studied simple and compound interest. This week we will briefly review that before we continue looking at different types of savings plans, as well as different types of investments. You will learn about the "Rule of 72" and the stock market as well! You will need a calculator for this entire unit so be sure to bring one!
We will watch a Christmas movie the last day or two, depending on how far through the chapter we get this week.
Tuesday and Friday we will have our final current events presentations of 2011.
It will be an interesting and hopefully fun week. See you in class!
