The first thing I want you doing today is beginning the "Me Map" or completing the one that you started yesterday. No blank squares. On the left side are ideas to use for filling in the blank squares. I want them colorful because they are going on my walls.

The next thing I want you to do is make sure that you have completed the questions on the four pages that I gave you that goes with the ACRN booklet. Remember mid terms are on Friday and some of you still owe this to me.

If this is completed then you can put together a puzzle and define the words in your own words. These words will be used from time to time as we get into the Real Game activities. I also want you defining the word job, occupation and career.

If you are all finished with the above activities, I want you to list as many careers, occupations and/or jobs as you can. (do not list math teacher, PE teacher, science list it as teacher).

Please hand in all work to the substitute. You may use the microsoft word on the computer if you would prefer. Make sure you save and print your work to hand in.

Have a great day and I will see you tomorrow. :-)

You are to draw and design your banner on paper. If you would prefer to get on the computer and look for designs, letters etc. you can. You are not to surf the internet, but can check clip art, look at different styles of letters and choose which you are going to want to use. You must have a design and letters on the banner. Some students use Disney characters, spongebob , cartoon characters and become very creative with their choices. I want you to really think about what it is you are going to design. One more thing to keep in mind is that you will have 3 weeks no more than 4 to work on the banners. You will need to get my approval on your design and words before we begin our banners. Also keep it school appropriate.

When you are finished with you banner design on paper, you can read the first chapter out of the Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder. We will be reading a chapter from time to time.
