Today's research wasn't that bad. I enjoy the research, my question was, "how do you become a Chief Justice." In the research I learn what a Chief justice is and how they get nominated.

I also enjoy the video chat, it was pretty cool and helpful on gathering information. It was much faster too.

 * A.** Should you 1) honor the jobs promised by the old mayor, or 2) cancel the jobs since they aren’t “officially” in the system yet?
 * B.** What are the possible negatives to denying these people their jobs? What are the possible positives to allowing them to take these jobs?
 * C.** Would it make a difference if the perspective employees had worked against you in the mayoral elections?


 * A.** I would look through the jobs and see what suits me. I wouldn't cancel all of the jobs, but at most, some of them.
 * B.** The negatives on canceling the jobs is that the people will get angry because they didn't get the job. The positive on allowing them to take the jobs, is people won't have to worry about being unemployed.
 * C.** Yes, because they don't know what I'm going to do in the future. These people are trying to maintain their jobs, so they will take any chance they got.

__**Reflection:**__ (Ms. Pember's class didn't have time to do this, please complete on your own!) What did you learn about your case? What do you think of projects in video/audio format? How can they fit into school?

-I enjoy the project in audio format and it can fit into school because students can record information or do a project using this. I think it's easy to do and
