Finishing up yesterday's activity, you need to add up ALL of the expenses listed on your paper, numbers 2 through 15. Draw a box around that total, which is an estimate of your monthly living expenses. Now, for number one, you estimated what you’d pay a year in taxes that would be deducted from our paychecks. For a single person making $50k a year, 17.5% is about what you’d figure to have deducted in federal taxes. Subtracted from our $50k salary, that gives us a net income of $41,250. (Keep in mind, we’re not even calculating local and state taxes yet.) Other income taxes will depend on the state in which you are living, as well as your specific county and city rates. An extra $3,000 off your gross salary would be pretty accurate, but to keep the math easy, let’s just take out $2,250 for the year in state and local income taxes. That leaves all of us with a grand total of $39,000 as a take-home salary for the year. Write down that figure on your paper and put a box around it. So now…divide that $39,000 by twelve and you end up with a monthly take-home income. Write that number below your take home amount. This is your monthly take-home estimate. Now, subtract your total expenses from that monthly take-home amount, then write that total below your other answers and circle it. (Hopefully, you are not in the negative.)
Today you are going to be working on the computers. In your JUNIOR ENGLISH OneNote notebook, you need go to the Writing and Grammar section. (It's the purple tab, if you set your notebook up correctly.) In this section of your notebook, you need to create a page for each part of speech that we have studied thus far. (Nouns, Pronouns, Conjunctions, Interjections, and Verbs.) On each page, you should place all of the class notes that we have taken/studied regarding each part of speech. This is due by Sunday night before midnight. Mr. Tucker will publish another list tomorrow of the people who CORRECTLY shared their JUNIOR ENGLISH notebooks with him. If you aren't on the list, you need to dig into last semesters instructions and get it taken care of!
Also, you will be searching and gathering some information using the attached documents. Where should you keep your answers? Yep--you guessed it...OneNote! Go to the Research Paper section of your notebook. (It's the green tab if you set your notebook up according to directions last semester.) Name your first page in this section Web Researching Practice. On this page, answer each question on the handout. (Yes--number them just like the handout.) With each answer, you need to copy and paste the URL for each site where you found that answer. (Put in a line or two below your answer--not right beside it.)
