Good Luck on AP Tests this week.  I have been detailed in the blog so you can use it to make-up any missing assignments. 

Ancient Medieval

In honor of prom weekend -- I am moving the paper deadline to Thursday, May 8th.

Thur. 5/8 -- I will be gone this day -- Cartoons on different types of unemployment.  If absent: Read pages 372-373.  There are five types of unemployment.  For each type you will create a cartoon (they can be stand-alone or a series) that shows the type of unemployment.  You will need a caption with the definition.  Since we often do this in December (first semester) I often have seasonally unemployed Santa and technologically unemployed elves. 
Fri. 5/9 -- More details on unemployment -- How is the unemployment rate figured (p. 370-371)? Why is the unemployment rate understated?   What are the costs of economic instability and unemployment (p. 374).  If you are absent use your book to answer these questions.  We will also watch a 60 minute video " March of the Machines" original air date 1/13/13 -- You can probably watch it at CBS.
