So grades have come out, your assignments have been piling up, and you have a Mid-Term Exam- but I am going to postpone it for Tuesday. We will use Monday to review. Tomorrow you will have a sub (Mr. Toriello) and it will be  a rally schedule.

Today I'd like you to use good quality focus on yesterday's Assignment:

1. Your assignment is to start on page 287 and read to page 300, making a graphic organizer as you go. Please start with my basic skeleton organizer *, and expand from there. After you finish, please answer the review questions on page 300 #1-9 in a new blog post titled "Commonly Abused Drugs" along with a picture of your graphic organizer. (20-25 minutes Inside)

2. When you are finished, practice drawing the 3 Systems: Digestive, Circulatory, and Nervous. (15-25 minutes Outside OK)

3. After that, please work on the Google Slides Alcohol Advertisement (From last Friday- see below) (20-25 minutes Inside) 

"Real life Activity" on page 257: You are going to adapt this activity using Google Slides and your blog. The slideshow will be embedded in a blog post titled "Alcohol and Advertising".



To begin, open a New Google Slides Presentation and make 2 slides.
