Thank you for all your hard work this year. I’ve enjoyed having each of you in my classes. I hope you have a relaxing and enjoyable summer and a successful freshman year of high school! Keep in touch, and let me know how you are doing! I’ll miss you guys!

Today we continued to watch "The Pursuit of Happyness", and yes, I know it’s spelled incorrectly! If you are missing any work in my class, now would be the time to turn it in! I hope you enjoyed the movie today.
Have a great night!

Today we discussed the devastating cyclone that hit Myanmar (Burma) earlier this month. We looked at how the policies of a government impact its citizens. If you missed class, please look up some information on CNN about the junta of Myanmar and how they are impeding the aid effort. You should also write a paragraph answering the following question:
How do a government’s policies impact its citizens?
You should cite three examples of governmental policies impacting the citizenry and explain your examples. You may use Myanmar as one of the examples.
