Happy Thanksgiving Extra Credit

Here's the link to a third Extra Credit opportunity, but it must be completed prior to TUESDAY, November 29the!

Take the California Budget Balancer Challenge. Note: I believe this challenge is FLASH based, so some PC's may not load the Orange graph on the right-hand-side. That is not important to the challenge. The thermometer is the image you will need to view as you begin to bring the budget into a more balanced state.

In order to earn up to nine extra credit points, you will need to take a screen shot of your final thermometer image and write a 750 word summary of the critical thinking analysis of how you chose to balance the budget.

I was able to develop a $2 Billion SURPLUS by releasing prisoners, adding substantial taxes to fuel, alcohol and tobacco purchases, and taxing more businesses.


You may also submit the Extra Credit opportunities from last week, but these must be submitted on Monday, November 28th, UNLESS YOU INCLUDE A SCREEN SHOT OF YOUR COLLEGE APPLICATION SUBMISSIONS SHOWING A DATE OF SATURDAY OR SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 26 OR 27 IN THE IMAGE. IF THIS IS THE CASE, YOU MAY SUBMIT ANY OF THE THREE CHOICES ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1st.

Enjoy your weekend!
