Week of Nov.28-Dec.5

Hi Gr.10's,

This week we will continue studying Credit and the real cost of it. On Friday you didn't have much time on the computer, so on Monday you will be given class time to continue exploring the credit card simulator games. You'll also do two online quizzes on Credit 101 and how credit savvy you are, as well as compare credit cards online. Click on each of the links below for quick and easy access:

Credit Card Simulator Game
Quiz: Credit 101
Quiz: "How Credit Savvy Are You?"
Compare Credit Cards

Following that you will be assigned a credit activity that requires you to research the cost of buying a car. As it is double block on Monday, you will have ample time to work on this and should be able to finish by the end of the second block. The next assignment you will be looking at is the cost of buying a house/getting a mortgage. You will be given class time to work on this as well. I have links for both of these assignments under the "Important Links" on my webpage. They are:
     How to Lease a Car
     How to Finance a Car
     Realtor.ca >Find a House
     Mortgage Calculator

You can expect a quiz on Credit this week as well. I'm aiming for Wednesday so be sure to review your notes package in the days that follow.

See you in class!

PS. Don't forget, your Mock Interview is no longer this Wednesday Nov. 30th. It has instead been rescheduled to Wednesday, January 4th (the 2nd day back after the break).
