Emily Maggiano SCRIBE 3-10-08 Monday

In class we first started with a journal which we were to find the formula used for the x & y input and output of each chart. Then we graphed the coordinates on the same graph using "Sketchpad". If we finished that in class we were to complete a worksheet using similar problems from the journal and graph them as well on a separate page using "Sketchpad." We were told our benchmark in class and that a proposal is due 3-12-08.

Today in class we worked on a Warm-Up. It was a review from Thursday, just to see if we remembered what we had learned.

This was the warm-up

If last years population was 12,000 people and the previous year was 3% less than that. What was the population last year.

So the equation would be

12,000/x = 103/100

And you multiply 12,000 by 100 and x by 3 so you'd get

103/x = 1,200,000

You divide 103 by 103x and 1,200,000 by 103

x=11,650

We also did a classwork sheet.

Emily is the scribe for next class

Class Discussion

Today in Algebra we had a class discussion revolving around the use of certain words within the SLA community. Their was an incident that occurred involving the use of the word "Gay." Words such as "No homo" or "Gay" are being ban from the SLA community because it offend others within the SLA family, "It will be seen as a hate word and those who use it will be punished" says staff members Ms.Weinraub & Ms.Hull. After this announcement there and uproar of controversy occurred over the ban on these words. We discussed in the class as to whether words such as "No homo" or "Gay" should be used or not. Some students disagree with the banning of such words ",They can't tell us was to say" an SLA student protested. Others believe that their "Stepping on eggshells" just to please on group and or minority. Some have protested that if you wish to use these words (No homo or Gay) "Why not pull out other words, the "N" word or Cracker..."

For more information or opinions of the baning of these words check the forum on SLA talk "What is o.k to say."
