Good morning!  I reviewed all of your work on ratios.  About ⅓ of the class completed it successfully, with minimal mistakes.  About ⅓ of the class needs to correct or finish the section comparing Huli and Google.  And about ⅓ of the class needs to correct the first section.  Only those who successfully completed all the ratios work will work on a Common Craft video.  The rest of you will rework your ratios calculations.

On deck for today:

• Review today’s Daily Bulletin
• STOP, turn off your computer screen, and wait silently for the next activity
• Business thoughts with Jordan and Mason
• Complete a Writing Sample in the file titled, “Write an Argument” in your Google student folder
• Work on the “Ratios Redo” file in your Google student folder

If you complete all of the above work, do a Google search to find out what is a “Request for Proposal,” or “RFP.”  What are RFPs used for?  Then begin reviewing the Requests for Proposals from businesses in the folder called, RFP.  I will introduce RFPs in the next class.

Keep up the Good Work!
