February 7

Today we started off by reading Chapter 4 in the Made in the USA textbook (p.45-55). Part way through reading this chapter I distributed your Power Notes guide for this chapter. Here's what the Power Note guide looks like for this chapter:
(1) Economics
(1) Economic Systems
(1) Command Economy
(1) Mixed Economy
(1) US Market Economy
(1) Free Enterprise
(1) The Market/ Marketplace
(1) Private Ownership
(1) Self Interest and Freedom to Choose
(1) Things Adam Smith did NOT predict within the Market System

For each of these 1's (main ideas) you must find the 2's (supporting details) and the 3's (specific examples). You may even find some 4's as well. These Power notes will be due by this Wednesday!

In the second half of the class Ms Holland did a poetry lesson with you. She showed you a couple of clips from the movie Dead Poets Society. You also listened to a couple of songs. Ms. Holland will be introducing some project ideas to you tomorrow related to what she discussed with you in class today.
