Group 2: Amie, Claire, Cari
Group 3: Tea, Summer, Jordan
Group 4: Dalton, Jennie, Kyle
Group 5: Ryan, Joe, Josh
Group 6: Erin, Lexi, Jon S.
Group 7: Tabitha
Group 8: Michael R

Assignment:
===============
1. The computer lab is not available today. Make due with the computers we have in the classroom, please. Go to here sometime during the day today and nominate a teacher that has made a difference in your life. It can be anyone in your life who has believed in your abilities and it is a chance for them to be recognized. Txt me when you are done with this step...just say, "This is _____--done."

2. You are traveling down a road and a deer runs out. Quick, what do you do? Click Here for a list of ideas (I have run several copies for the substitute, so please get one per group). Circle the three things that you think are most important.

Now, imagine you need to communicate this information to others in a VISUAL manner, with a maximum of ten words on the paper. Make a poster to explain how reaction time and equipment condition can help you to avoid the deer or minimize the collision. How would this be different if you were going around a curve at the time of the deer sighting? Hand this in before you leave today. Linsay and Jordan can help you find colored pencils or markers. After you do this, you may move back to your table

3. Read pp. 36 in your book and use the information to answer Q 1-8 on p. 40

4. Make a graph with speed on the x-axis and stopping distance on the y-axis for the picture at the top of this post(again, I have run several copies of this) and hand in with your name on it.



Thank you for being such a good sport! I really really appreciate it.

See you tomorrow.
