Senior Current Issues is off to Chicago – Saturday February 1 – to celebrate Groundhog’s Day. Stay tuned for details… Get the day off from Work. We need Drivers.
YOU ARE INVITED – to Chicago Saturday February 1
Hey guys…we are going to celebrate Chicago’s second greatest holiday – GROUND HOGS DAY. We meet in Grand Haven (8:00 AM.) We carpool down to Michigan City, Indiana. And then we take the Southshore line train into the Windy City ($8.50 one way). It drops us smak dab in the middle of town – directly under Millennium Park. We head up the stairs and scatter. Go where you want. Have a great time. Meet back at the train – the return time will depend on weather and plans. We will confirm return time prior to going – so parents will know times before we leave.

For Oakridge students and Oakridge parents.
OK – here you go – everything you need to know about taking on the challenge of paying for college, organized into a Blendspace post below. Please listen to the audioboo podcast and then read the Introduction TOC of Blendspace. That should get you comfortable with the post.
Watch the videos with mom and dad. Organize yourself for this challenge – the earlier the better – roll up your sleeves and jump in. If you are going to make it in this economy of ours, you’ve got to have some post high school education. This will get you started and hopefully provide a little inspiration to keep you moving in a positive direction.

Two things for Senior Current Issues…
Trying something new here guys…Blendspace. It’s a website that allows you to organize an entire unit. I gotta believe it will really help you all because it combines our online study into a single post and allows you to not only work your way through the unit at your own pace, but also to look ahead, and easily access past information.
Secondly, the Blendspace focus is on Immigration (Immigration from Latin America). I’ve linked some investigative journalism – video and written, that will be a focus for our study. We will also watch the movie Sin Nombre – take a look at the trailer.
Finally, I’ve used an audioboo podcast to explain Blend Space. Give it a shot. Open up the buddha blog in a separate window and follow me here on audioboo. I’ve tried to walk you through this process as simply as I can. I think it’ll work.
Let me know your thoughts… Thanks.
