Japan - The Latest
Although the news coverage of the events in Japan have dwindled slightly over the past few days. The far reaching effects and devastation continue to grow. Specifically in the inability to stop radiation leaks.
Check out the article to keep yourself current on the world changing effects in Japan. Similar to our studying of 9/11 this event may alter the course of world history drastically.
Suggest some predictions of how this event may change the world? or argue that it indeed will not.
perhaps being fully informed will make it more meaningful and important to donate a few dollars to support relief efforts.

Healthy Living
Hey Team,
Check out this article on Student health. It is from an American perspective but its reality is not that different from our own.
Should parents be standing guard around stores that sell junk food to children?
Do Principals have the right to ask store owners not to sell candy to kids?
Can you make any connections to equality and systemic racism?

Check out this article about University students who buy class notes online (the type of jot notes we learned about during the slave trade research)

The Cheat 2
Dan was so confident not to worry about being caught cheating. He was cocky and arrogant about the situation. But he was the first one to snitch and cave in to save himself in Mr. Chen's office! What do you think about Dan? Is he realistic and is this behaviour realistic?

United We Stand 4
Hey Team,
It is clear that we are nearing the end of a novel. We have been reading about Will and company for 4 months now, what do you think will happen at the end of the novel when Will arrives home? How will his mom act? What will happen with James mother?
James has seemingly "seen the light" and seems destined to become a firefighter, do you think Will is as passionate about his future?
