1. Portfolio Set up: I would like you to have 8 Binder Dividers by Monday, so we can set up your Portfolios. Go to Staples and get a set of 8 Dividers that have 8 tabs that you can write on.

2. Your Personal Essay should be completed by the end of the day Monday, at the latest. 

You are to reflect and examine yourself and the person you want to be in this world and this century.  This is an essay about oneself - YOU - and what kind of human you want to be. This is not about jobs, but about your moral center and how it will take you through life.

You will have a few days to work on it. 

3. Keep abreast of current events, and be able to update, daily.
