Today we are going to watch the last two venture plan presentations and then take a look at the land lord tenant act.  This legislation is important because you need to know how to live up to your responsibilities and you need to make sure that you don't get taken advantage of.  After this we will finish looking at the budget for accommodation expenses.

Today we are going to start looking at budgeting and paychecks.  We will watch an episode of "Til Debt do us part" (season 6, episode 13) as an introduction to the importance of budgeting and ensuring that your monthly expenses do not exceed your monthly earnings.  We will then look at a sample paycheck and look at what is taken in taxes and what other deductions come off  your paycheck.

Today is a catch up day.  For those who have not written your unit exam that is the first priority.  Then you are working on finalizing your entrepreneur projects.  Several of you have yet to submit a portfolio and this will make you ineligible for honors this semester.

Today we are continuing our work with our entrepreneur projects.  Today we will look past budgeting and start to investigate what your marketing should look like.  Things included today will be determining a target market and looking at how to do market research.

Today we are going to continue work on our Entrepreneur Projects.  Today's focus will be on budgeting.

Holly Bilton from CAREERS: the Next Generation is here to present today.

We are getting close to wrapping up our careers unit.  Today we are starting class with a quiz on employment standards...YAY!!  Then we are going over occupational health and safety and looking at your rights and responsibilities.  We will be looking at the act (http://work.alberta.ca/documents/WHS-PUB_li008.pdf) and at some videos which show risk potential at work and how to be a safer worker. http://work.alberta.ca/occupational-health-safety/bloodylucky.html.  If time, you can work on your portfolios for the rest of class.

Today we are going over employment standards.  It is important to know your rights and responsibilities in the work place.  You will be developing your own quiz on this in pairs today.  On this web site are several documents that deal with employability standards.  Today you will create the quiz questions at www.socrative.com and then tomorrow you will give the quiz to another group in the class.  We may exchange these several times.  This information WILL be tested on your unit exam so you need to know it!
