Thai food tonight…if we can get to Chicago. The saga of the journey to Selma continues. Mr Wood officially now possesses a valid Michigan Drivers’ License. Our 1962 Chevy Van is in the shop being updated with 20th century technology – so that we can make the trip. Sascha may however be strapped to the roof. 4:00 is estimated take off time.

OK guys…here you go. All the stuff you need to know.
Guys the best thing you can do to get ready for this journey…is to read. Watch Eyes on the Prize video series. I’ve provided you tube links to reasonable copies of the segments. You can watch them online. I have dvd’s that you may borrow. Watch these things. Eyes on the Prize is the Bible when it comes to the Civil Rights Movement. The following are must sees:
We will meet at 6:00 PM Tuesday night – parents included to wrap up all odds-n-ends. It won’t take more than one hour. We will meet at 3:00 PM Wednesday and watch the Selma segment of Eyes on the Prize. We will leave at 4:00 PM on Thursday after school for Chi-town. By Friday morning we’ll be sitting in the sunshine in Birmingham, Alabama. Looks like sunny and 60 for the Jubilee. Let me know if you have questions.

RWE (Option S) – Globalization / Assignment due Monday Feb 26
Special Note: Because some people are struggling with the concept of globalization and finding an article within that topic range I am allowing you to instead choose a news article that deals with Brazil, India, or China. These three states, probably more than any others have transformed more in the past few decades due to globalization. Their economies and their peoples lives are in flux. If you’re struggling with globalization topic, go to China, India, or Brazil and get specific about their economies and their lives and how they are affected on a world economic stage.
Economic globalization is a complicated issue that affects consumers and producers all over the globe. It impacts your family as well as your personal 
spending habits and future economic worth. Standards of living, quality of life, micro and macro economics, unemployment and poverty rates in addition to national GDP, in the first and third world, is all impacted by globalization. We will spend a lot of time in Economics on this pivotal world economic relationship. That means for this Option S – you certainly will have a lot of stories to choose from. I do not care if you approach the issue from a micro or macro level. It doesn’t matter to me if you choose an article that is critical of the effects of globalization’s or if you support it. Explore the aspect of this issue that is most interesting to you. Facilitators will be assigned by Thursday for Monday February 26 presentations. You may volunteer.
Go here to listen to a podcast by Mr. Wood defining the basics of globalization. It should help you to better understand the issue and consequently choose a quality article for evaluation.
Please go here for specific guidelines and links to credible news sources for all Real World Economics (Option T & S) Assignments.
