Story and Pictures by Lois Terry

Ms. Terry’s 9th grade Geography classes were “Playing with Economic Systems” today. They had recently learned about three different types of economic systems and had this opportunity to test their knowledge with some rousing games of Rock-Paper-Scissors.

They got to experience Capitalism, Socialism, and Communism using currency that was equal to one M&M. The students had a lot of fun while getting to understand firsthand what each economic system was all about. Mr. Mortensen even joined in on the fun.

Hey! You. Yeah, you. Wanna do something that most people on the planet only dream of? Wanna participate in the challenge of a lifetime? Mr. Anson's honors English classes are going to undertake writing an entire novel during the month of November. Crazy, huh? Absolutely.

Any other students, regardless of grade, English teacher, genre preference, or shoe size, who also thinks she is up to the life-changing experience of writing a novel in 30 days, is welcome to join. Please see Mr. Anson for details about the NaNoWriMo young writers program. You'll need to sign up before the end of the month, so hurry.
