Last Blog post before Midterms

                    Well this should be everyone's last blog post before the midterms. This week in Econ we focused on getting some more concepts in just before the weekend. We had a lot of things happen in Weserville this week. On Wednesday the mayor declared a holiday and for everyone to leave town. When we came back from our holiday Weserville was flooded.  There was a lot of water flooding the streets. This is very unusual for weserville because they are in the mountains but the river rose about 10 feet and flooded Weserville and the towns near it. Weserville already had some damage done to it from the tornado last week and now it has been flooded too. In Econ we started taking notes on Supply and Demand that seems to be pretty easy to understand so far.

                         This week in econ we did many things in class. We started on our tourism projects which are do on Friday. In our tourism projects we had to try and get people to come to weserville. We had to make a half page newspaper ad, a radio commercial and a TV commercial. My group was Emily, Matthew and I. We did our TV commercial on Powtoons, we voice recorded our radio commercial and we did our newspaper ad on Google presentations. Also this week we had a tornado in weserville. FEMA just arrived yesterday to help with the reconstruction of our town. They will be staying for at least 5 weeks.

This week in Econ we took some notes and almost had to take a quiz. On Monday we took notes, on Tuesday we took more notes. On Wednesday we went to the library to watch the 8th graders presentations. Overall their presentations were pretty good. On Thursday the freshman had their retreat. The retreat was carnival themed so we did some carnival activities and we also had carnival food for lunch. On Friday we will have a short class because of Mass and Pep rally.
