Week of Dec.5-9th

Hi Class,

This week will be a busy one. Your Business Cartoon is due Monday, Dec.5th. As you've had over two weeks to do this, plus class time to work on your rough draft, I expect them all to be handed in on time ;) Most of you have shown me your rough copies and they were looking very creative and interesting. I look forward to seeing the finished products! Remember, your cartoon must:

• Clearly indicate the topic/concept you are illustrating (This means have a title!)
• Include drawn or computerized images that clearly and cleverly illustrate the issue/concept
• Be colorful and on plain white paper
• have labels on all important characters or buildings/stores
• have clear thought or speech bubbles for your characters that demonstrate the issue
• Include a point- this means shows a cause-effect sort of relationship
• include a clear written explanation of the business concept/issue that tells me what your cartoon represents and defines the issue
• include the mark sheet stapled to your cartoon 

Example:

 On Monday and Tuesday (double block) we will be reviewing Ch.9 in preparation for the Chapter Test on Wednesday Dec.7th. This essentially gives us 3 classes to review which should be more than enough time. I'll also be giving you an "Ad Analysis" assignment. I'll explain this in class and will give you until Monday, Dec.12th to complete it. In the meantime we will be moving on to the next unit of the course- Personal Finance. We will be looking at Savings & Investments, Banking, and Credit for the remainder of the course. You will now need to bring a calculator to class everyday!

See you in class!
