I am imprisoned at the District Office on Juniper Street. An all-day meeting. Imagine your dullest class. Imagine you have this class all day with only two short bathroom breaks and one 45 minute lunch. Imagine endless PowerPoints of charts and numbers and vocabulary you don't really understand. That's what I face today.
So do your brochures or EXCEL spreadsheets. Ask Mark or Ken or Angelica or Mohammed for help.

May 26

Same as yesterday. Be sure to check in with me as you work your way through EXCEL as I have some helpful hints that will make the work easier.

May 23

No change from yesterday except that a couple of you are ready to do the last part of the EXCEL work:
Pages 345-346 129B, 129C, 129D (3 worksheets). Let me show you a couple basic things about doing calculations.

You should be nearly done with your brochures. Those of you who are working on EXCEL will probably get to do some computations (adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing) today or tomorrow.

Anyone who has not sent me your presentations yet may get 75% credit by doing so today or tomorrow. We will continue to do presentations and brochures today.

To avoid a C- or lower on the next Progress Report you must have finished all slide presentations by Friday. That includes the Youth Culture and After High School presentations.
