Kaleidoscope/Enrichment

 

We are still in our Greek mythology unit. We discussed Prometheus, who created men out of clay. He made these clay models  look like gods, but he put into them bits and pieces of other creatures he had made already-the dog, the fox, the deer-so that this new creature, man, was a mixture of all these things.  The students used clay to create their own perfect creature!

Life Skills:

We have been discussing interview techniques and resume writing skills. They will be writing their resumes today in class. They will turn them in Tuesday when they have their "job interview". We drew randomly to figure out our rent, car, phone, and utility bills, as well as our income; Some of them did not have the greatest luck and will be living on a very meager income. I tried to reassure them that having a low income DOES NOT hurt your grade whatsoever! Next week we will start on budgeting our money, keeping track of where our money goes, and buying a car!
