GG&S today, Pow Wow tomorrow

We are done watching the video, so for your next blog, complete the assignment we began in class: using the CIA Factbook, unearth some information about life today in Papua New Guinea.  We discussed their literacy rate, GDP growth rate, unemployment rate, even their number of airports.  And there's plenty more where that came from.

Also, I am offering 20 points of extra credit if you attend Saturday's Morningstar Pow Wow at John Carroll.  Their website is here, the official site of the Pow Wow.  There are events all day, including Native American Flute Music at 11:15 am, and Gourd Dancing at noon.  But the Grand Entry at 1:00 is not to be missed.  This is the highlight of the entire day, with tremendous drumming and Native Americans from across the country dancing in a huge circle in the gym, including Mr. Scholl in full Native regalia.  Admission is 2 dollars for students and 5 dollars for adults, with all proceeds going to support the St. Labre Indian School in Ashland, Montana - a truly worthy cause.  Find me at the Pow Wow to receive credit, or email me a photo of you in the midst of the activities in the gym.  I really hope you can make this amazing event - you'll never forget it!
