Happy National Square Root Day!

Because it's 3/3/09! Not too shabby math skills for your English teacher, now is it? First I'd like to mention your mad researching skills. I posted eight questions as they pertained to the speeches given in their respective classes. Little did I expect you guys to go online to find the answers for the other classes' questions. You guys are so bright! Extra credit all around!

I hate to do this, but we're having a lot of people go over their time by many minutes. I will give you a five minute warning, but the speech is cut off at seven minutes, finished or not. (Sorry!)

Okay, but now to the real stuff: your homework.

Period One: Email me, epina@tehamaed.org . You have 24 hours, until 10:00AM, Wednesday, 3/4 to email me your answers. In your subject put HWK Period 1, and make sure you identify yourself too.
