Greetings Scholars and Future Voters!

I am sorry I am not in class today, I have two sick babies. :-(

Today you will be very busy and I expect you to be so great that I am so impressed with you and decide to give you a free 100% quiz grade for your efforts!

Be sure to heed the list here as to what you need to accomplish and work hard for the substitute.

Book Reviews are postponed until Oct 26 since I have your final response (GRADED TOO!!!) and you need it to complete your assignment.

Blocks 6 & 7
First, you will BLOG. Thank you Tyler H for the idea! See the question below.
Then you will READ. New Newsweeks are in. Read for 20 minutes and then turn and discuss with a partner what you read and why.
Then you will work on a CENTER. Next week you will be turning in your work.

Block 8
First, you will BLOG and be thankful that I am giving you a second chance in the computer lab. Use it wisely and carefully. Stay focused. See question below.
Then you will READ. New Newsweeks are in. Read for about 20 minutes and then write me a letter telling me about what you read-just about a paragraph or so.
READ A Child Called "It." Take notes and be ready for a test next week.

BLOG QUESTION:
You need to answer either A or B.
A) If you became president, what kind of president would you be? How would you preside? What issues would you make changes in? Why? What laws would you try to change? Why? What would you do about the wars (think issues of draft and veterans health plans)? What would you do with education? How would you change it? Would you keep issues of religion separate from the state? What holiday would you create and why?
B) If you could elect a real or fictional character president, who would you and why? Discuss how you think they would handle some of the above issues, including what holiday they would create. :-)

Enjoy!
Mrs. Gaboury
