If I Became A Teen Parent

Today you will be doing the first part of a worksheet called "If I Became a Teen Parent".  You will answer some questions about how your life would change if you received news that you were going to be a parent, and then you will take home the questions for a parent/guardian (or other significant adult in your life) to answer.  If you're brave enough, try telling a parent that you ARE having a baby and get a more realistic response.  :)

Some of you may already be on your own, may already have a baby, or have already lived this experience.  If you are willing, please share your experience.

Credit Card Research Project

Today we are going to be comparing three different credit offers.  I will provide you with two and your homework is to find a 3rd.

• I will pass out a Credit Card Comparison worksheet [you can download one Here if you need one at a later date].
• Fill in the blanks for your 3 different credit offers.
• Turn in your results page.

Credit Card Offers:

• Offer #1
• Offer #2
• Locate an offer on your own

Next I want you to look at this offer I got in the mail in 2010.  It is not edited to make it look worse -- this is how it came.  It's in a folder pamphlet form (which I will show everybody tomorrow) but I scanned both sides so you could see the details.  You can click the picture to read the small print:

When you are finished with this project, work on getting any missing work turned in.

ADDITIONAL HOMEWORK:  Interview one adult who has [or has had] credit cards using the provided worksheet.
