1. Journal Entry 2. Solar System Project
 * Agenda:**

Project Due Today, Project Assessment Due today

Today we are going to finish up our solar system projects. After the journal, I will upload the assessment onto this page. The assessment will simply ask you questions about the solar system. You may only use your powerpoint to answer these questions. Instead of printing them off, we are just going to do them at our seats, but **you may not have your excel spreadsheet open while you take the assessment**. Remember to submit both the excel and powerpoint files to the drop box with the correct file names. The codeword for today is "puppy".

1. Journal Entry 2. Before Civilization WebQuest
 * Agenda:**

Go see Star Trek!
 * Due Dates:**

Just to show Tayanna how much I am not a geek, I am going to talk about Star Trek, and how the new reboot Star Trek movie comes out today. I think you will like it, because you are all smart and like a good story. Anyway, we will continue the webquest today. The questions you have to answer are for Activity one. After activities 2-6 there will be another blog for you to post a comment on. Instead of answering questions on these blogs, you will just type a paragraph or so about your reaction to that activity (did you like, what did the activity teach you). You will also read other people's comments and respond to them (do you agree, disagree, why?). I know we are using a lot of newer technologies here that we all might be a bit unfamiliar with, but it is something that will definitely benefit you in the future. The codeword for today is "Tennis."
