Weekend Homework

For your "micro-enterprise": 1. If you are buying supplies, you need to get a price on each item so you can estimate your budget. 2. Advertising is KEY. Come up with 3 ideas for how you could advertise (Facebook, posters, twitter, through family, etc). 3. Every business needs a name... And a logo! Come up with a name for your business and design a logo to go with it.

Weekend Homework

Read the poem "Invicuts" and complete the worksheet by filling in the graphic organizer and responding to the question on the back.

The Chapter 23 Test will be on TUESDAY. Monday you will get all of your work back and you will have a review activity/worksheet.

Monday Homework

I am SO sorry!! I completely forgot to post tonight's homework... hope it's not too late :)

You should be getting a few pictures for your "South African Student" Facebook page. You all know what a facebook page looks like... tomorrow in class you will get the template and will have space to add the pictures you found.

You may email them to me to print at hurst.scienceclass@gmail.com

You may come in and use my iPad or computer BEFORE school or during LUNCH tomorrow if you need to.

Wednesday Homework

Finish the Reading Questions  from the Nelson Mandela article you read in class today.

You will get ALL the work you have turned in back tomorrow. There are also quite a few papers in the "No Name" folder... any missing work that you'd like to make-up is due FRIDAY IN CLASS (yes, I am giving you an extra night).

Term 3 ends on Friday.

Monday Homework and Movie Showing

1. There is no Geography homework tonight.

2. Remember to turn in any make-up work by THURSDAY AT 2PM.

3. IF YOU DID NOT WATCH ONE OF THE 2 MOVIES OVER BREAK: I will be renting "Invictus" tomorrow, and will stay after school on WEDNESDAY for any students who wish to watch the movie and submit their response (to make-up the assignment from vacation.) Anyone who wants to stay after to watch is of course welcome. I will start the movie EXACTLY at 2 pm.

February Vacation Homework

During the vacation... I am asking that each student watch either:

 "Invictus", a movie about a South African rugby team after apartheid. (Starring Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman)

Or

"Hotel Rwanda", a movie about one man's mission to save people from the genocide that occurred there. (Starring Don Cheadle)

Invictus is available at Red Box, and Hotel Rwanda can be ordered via NetFlix, but only as an actually DVD.

Another option is to rent them off of iTunes, both are available, for $2.99

I'd like you to pick one to watch, and then either respond to the blog post about the movie you chose, email a response, or bring a written response on Monday after break. Respond to AT LEAST one of the following questions.

"What did you think about the movie?"
"How did it make you feel?"
"How realistic do you think it was?" (this question might require some outside research)

You can certainly get together and watch one of the movies, and if you do, discuss the movie and you may turn in a group response.

After the break we will be doing short units on both South Africa and Rwanda.

Have a fun and safe break! I am available via email at all times if you have any questions :)

Also... Jupiter Grades will be updated by MONDAY... if you are missing any assignments, look through your stuff and bring it in the day we come back. If you can't find them, I will allow you to make up SOME of them, come see me to get copies of the worksheet.

Term 3 ENDS ON FRIDAY after we come back.
