Global Warming?! Hoax or Reality?

That was one of a myriad of questions my Geography class tackled this week. We examined the myths and facts behind global warming, taking in both sides of the debate. We watched clips from Al Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," but were later dismayed to hear that he is being sued for fraud for the use of some misleading charts during the documentary.

Congratulations to Dalton Hammond for winning $1,000,000 by going all the way in "Who Wants to be a Millionaire: Economics Edition!" Or...make that 5 questions to be crossed off on today's test! You'll have to ask him sometime about the million dollar question- he didn't even flinch!

We had our first round of quizzes this week in 3 of my classes. I can't tell you how proud I am of my students this year. They're paying attention, they work hard, and it's showing already. Kudos. Don't let off the gas!

Countdown to Labor Day is officially under way- hope it's great!!
