This weekend there are TWO (2) Extra Credit opportunities for each period in American Government.
EC #1 - Complete a 750 word (One Page ONLY, but it can be 2-sided) summary of your research and new learning about the OMB, the Office of Management and Budget. Summarize your findings, including the TOTAL budget for 2012.
-or- instead of the OMB, Choose one of the 15 Executive Departments that you WOULD CUT FROM THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH. Develop your rationale for eliminating this department, including the savings in the budget, AND an approximation of the number of jobs that will be cut if you trim this department.
Submit your ONE PAGE Word document either by email to teacherhaywood@gmail.com or better yet, create a DROPBOX account by clicking this link - MR.HAYWOOD'S DROPBOX INVITE!
If you choose to create a Dropbox, then create a separate folder titled "yourlastname_period no." like this example - Haywood_Period 5.
Put your extra credit Word file inside that folder and invite me to share that folder. Use coachhaywood@gmail.com to share the folder, NOT teacherhaywood@gmail.com. I will explain why that is on Monday.
EC#2 - Become a Budget Hero by taking the Flash video challenge at this link. Take TWO (2) screenshots of your progress. One about half-way through the challenge, and the other at the end when you obtain your results. Copy-and-paste these two images on to a single page within Word and either email the document to me at teacherhaywood@gmail.com or invite me to view it using your new Dropbox account.
Enjoy your weekend!
