Period 2: Contract/Warranty/Credit Test Review, Day 1 - Class Recap

Lots of water/ice on the ground this morning. This is a waterfall near Multnomah Falls!

Hi everyone,

Here's what we did today in class. Hopefully, you are feeling ready for the test next week!

Soundtrack: “Ice Ice Baby” by Vanilla Ice. Selected because of the freezing fog that gave Portland Public Schools a two hour late opening today, but nothing for us. Lyrics here.

AGENDA 12/11/13:
Tort Reports
Student Loan Debrief
Test Review
Work Time

Homework: Review for upcoming test! Read the blog! Next tort reports assigned: Alondra and Randi.
---
Tort Reports: Today's articles were brought in by Erin, Ellen, and Jaxon. They were:

NBCNews.com - Lawsuit filed against shuttered ambulance service that stranded hospitals in six states.



Student Loan Debrief: We talked about the video that ended last class - student loan debt. I wanted to answer any questions and talk about the importance of knowing your options for college! My point here was to just be aware of debt that you could get yourself into, and different ways to diminish it.

Test Review: As I said in class, for whatever reason, it seems like this period has a difficult time with tests. This time around, I am hoping to make things a little easier for you - with plenty of review time and a sheet that will have all of the vocab you are going to need to know. If you missed class or lost your paper, here it is again to check out:


Work Time: I also passed out a worksheet with vocab from chapters 23 and 25 to work on in class. We will go over the answers (and play Jeopardy to review!) next class. Thank you for studying! Please let me know if you have any questions about the terms that I can go over again!
