Students will be given a chart to complete.  The website www.globalissues.org is an excellent source to use for completing this assignment.  It should take no more than five minutes to complete the chart.  Click on Behind Consumption and Consumerism to view the completed chart.  This chart will be reviewed during Monday classes.  I advised students to partner up with a peer who may not have Internet resources available in their home.  Have a safe and wonderful weekend.
