We will be taking notes tomorrow in class on Congress. I will be checking notebooks during for a notebook grade tomorrow. Tuesday through Thursday, there will be a short review packet on Congress for you to work on. You can use the rest of the time to complete your blog for the week, TeenBiz3000.com, and finish anything you have to do with College Applications. There will be a mini-test/quiz on Congress on Friday.

I will give you a packet on the Executive Branch to work on the three days of Christmas. If you don't finish, it is homework over the break. There is a blog due this week. No blogs after it will be due until we get back to school next year.

Finally, ALL COLLEGE APPLICATIONS MUST BE TOTALLY COMPLETE BY THE END OF THIS WEEK. YOUR SCHOOL'S MUST GET THIS INFORMATION BEFORE CHRISTMAS. I don't care how long you have to work on this or how long it takes, you must get it done this week if you want to give yourself the best chance to make a good choice of what school you want to spend four years of your life at: in many ways, this choice will change your life. Spend some time on it.
