Thursday, September 26th - Friday, September 27th

This was our agenda over the last two days:

Thursday:

  • We began with a T/F quiz on the Calling All Babysitters reading. 
  • Discussion of the reading and MR. M introducing the principles of supply and demand. 
  • Coke and Swedish Fish activity - Mr. M demonstrated supply and demand with this activity.
  • Wrote down the definitions of supply and demand - began to organize our notes


Friday:

  • Big homework assignment the night before over supply and demand. 
  • To discuss the homework we did the "Thunderdome" activity! 
  • Based on the movie "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" the idea was for two students to enter the arena and one leaves!  Divided class into groups.  Students faced off against each other with Mr. M firing questions at them. Those that got them right - lived! Those that did not had to choose their fate. Fates included:  Gulag (wearing a giant head down the hall), Glorious Leader, Shoe Head, Hox Bockey, Splish Splash, Ms. Abraham is my Best Friend, among others.....
  • Lots of fun!
