Finally, I was watching heads bob up and down and so I played this video for the class.

Today was about Networking and why people, especially people who own their own businesses, rely on the people around them to help with hiring workers.
I asked students to bring together a "Network" of their own. I'll call it U3A1a ... which is basically the "graphic organiser" type of
Then we did U3A1, which was about Teamwork.

I will do another post with the Laughing subway video for the assignment we were working on yesterday...
In any case, if we complete the assignment we will work on this:
After reading each scenario, consider the following questions and record the ideas of the group members:
1. How would you cope with this situation?
2. What other ways could you use to deal with this situation?
3. Which way would reduce your stress?
4. To whom would you talk about this problem?
Scenario 1
Your parent just lost his/her job. A school trip you planned to go on is just a month away, but your parent said the money for the trip will now be used to pay bills. A few good friends are also going on this trip and you don’t want to be embarrassed by telling the truth about why you can’t go on the trip.
Scenario 2
You have failed two of four subjects on your mid-term report card. You just received this report today, and you do not want to take it home to show your parents. You are disappointed in yourself.
Scenario 3
You have been grounded because you stayed out on a school evening well past the time you were supposed to be home. But there is a school dance this coming Friday evening that you wanted to attend, but now cannot go to because of being grounded.

Thursday and Friday March 2 and 3
Hey everyone. I want to say I am sorry for not posting on this blog Thursday. Man, it happens.
Here is what we need to work on today:
U2A5 Graphing and Reading Graphic Information
Graphs are used to visually represent information. Graphs emphasise material, and graphs can present material in a smaller space and with less repetition than words alone.
Before answering any questions about the information in a graph, try to understand the basic elements of the graph.
Establish what type of graph you are studying (for example is it a bar graph, a line graph, or a circle or pie graph?).
Be certain to read the title of the graph and, from the title, learn information about the graph.
Read the labels on each line.
Make yourself familiar with the units in the graph. For example, a graph may be speaking about percentages, or kilogrammes, or dollars, or months, or a combination of these.Read the legend (if there is one).
Some questions about data can be answered by stating a fact directly from the graph. To answer these types of questions, study the graph carefully and gather information from it.
Other questions about the graph may require you to interpret information by identifying relationships and trends within the graph.
