Friday, March 28, 2008 Message to Students MOS

Ms. Kirshner is out with an upper respiratory infection today. It seems I caught someone's cold or other similar "bug" and my throat is inflamed and I am quite ill.  Hopefully, I will be back on Monday. In the meantime, I left lesson plans for emergenies with Mr. Melkonian and also let Mr. Vitolo know what you were doing in class and what you could continue to do today.  

MOS students may continue to research online the origin or US coins and paper currency, to obtain illustrations and a timeline.  You can also research how money is used in banks and by consumers. You can include Forbes' list of the wealthiest people in the USA. You can build up your picture folder will illustrations and photos to use in your PowerPoint presentation slides.  Otherwise, you can look up careers or celebrity salaries on the Internet and prepare a one-page report.  

Remember, the Powerpoint "The History of Money" presentation is a project that will be due in a couple of weeks, which requires research.  It is a contest again with movie tickets to the top winners.  You should have a minimum of 6 - 8 slides next week, when I will continue to direct you along the way.  It is a relatively easy program, and I'm sure you will master it as you have everything else we've done.  I have confidence in you.

Enjoy your weekend.
