Lesson Comments
Good session. Georgia really responds very well to this lesson. She continues to offer insightful and informed observations and opinions on current news events.
Finish giving criteria for the reality project - discuss format for showing results of this assignment and explain how to show the information on a pie chart. Remember that ALL steps must be addressed/explained and problem-solving must be shown on separate sheet. Today work with job, wages, taxes, etc. to find monthly income, then begin with settling on an apartment and finding the costs involved.
