I am so sorry, but I completely forgot to do this before I left yesterday. I really don't have an excuse, other than I just got going on some other things and BAM, I forgot.

In English 10 we finished the last three speeches. We had such a funny experience with Veronica's speech and my smart phone. It will be one of those stories I share for years. Let's just say be careful what you say while having your finger on the button. Sieri will search for the strangest of commands. We then took our Digital Citizenship quiz. The Unit Plan for the next unit was handed out, but we didn't have a lot of time reviewing it.

In American Government we reviewed the headlines assignment. Then we discussed at great length capitalism and how the government can both let the market alone (laissez faire) while at the same time regulating the market. This will be our essay question.

In Literature 9 we had one of my favorite lessons. We watched a first hand account of the tragedy on Mount Everest. We read an essay from someone else's perspective, but there is something about hearing it straight from a person who was there. We then worked on monitoring comprehension (worksheet) and for homework looking at chronological order.

Hope today (Thursday) is a little more organized than yesterday was.
