HAPPY NEW YEAR!

In Class:

*Went over new standards and benchmarks for Qtr 3. Current benchmark: Explain how demographic concepts affects places.
*Went over 4 steps when reading articles: 1. What is the population that is being talked about; 2. What's happening to the population (increase or decrease); 3. What place is being affected?; and 4. What effects does it have on the place.
*Went over example of how MMS would be affected if students living on town side went to Wheeler Middle School (less students, better teacher to student ratio, less monies, less teachers, less crowding, no buses)

Homework:

1. Teenbiz Article: "The Count Is In" (do not print) - Students will have until this Friday to get it done. No extensions.
