For my 9th PLN I decided to read an article called "Ritter Signs Cheap Textbook Bill" by The Associated Press telling about how collage students can now buy their books for much cheaper. The Senate Bill 73 now requires publishers to tell teachers the prices that the students will have to pay for their textbooks. Also, if professors ask for textbooks including CD-ROMs they can now be bought in bundles. Publishers must also now tell teachers if the newer version of their book has any new, important information in them that the students will need, opening up more opportunity for students to buy used textbooks. Senator Ron Tupa a democratic Representative stated that this will now save collage students hundreds of dollars each and every year.
What Matters: I think what matters is the fact that our government is making positive steps to help out our collage students that are already making sacrifices and paying large amounts of money to attend their collage. These kids are going to be the next generation of America and going to run the world some day so why not encourage them to continue collage and help them out a little bit? In fact, there should be more bills passed like this and soon. It could be a simple bill like this that can help students attend collage and get a good,and proper education.
How this Affects Me: I think this bill and article relate to me, as well as every other high school student in the United States. With collage only a couple years away it is important to start thinking about it now and help the up and coming collage students.

Joey,
I thouht you had a good presentation. A little more eye contact would have been good, but overall good job.
Joey, you did really good on speaking loudly and clearly, try to not read from your notes so much. You did really good on going into detail on all of your PLNs but didn't really relate it to yourself or the world so just work on that.
Joey you did a good job focusing all your articles kind-of around one subject and local articles but good job try to go a little slower though and say why it matters to you
Joey- Good Job you had very good articles. Wow good folow ever after she was confused so good job.
Joey, you had a good presentation and did well giving a summary of your articles. Next time, try making more eye contact. Good job.
Joey, you did a great job on your presentation. Try not to use your note card so much, but besides that you had a loud voice. Keep up the good work up.
Joseph! This was a very nice presentation! You talked clearly and loudly. I think that the teacher shouldn't get his job back. Great job!
Joey, you did an awesome job. Try to make a little more eye contact, and make sure that you read over your notes so you don't studder quite as much. However,oter than that, you spoke loud and clear. Keep up the good work.
You did a very good job with explaining all your PLNs and speaking loud and clear. You also made good eye conact also! good job!
Joey,
It is pretty interesting about all the things they are doing with cars
to cut down on the price for gas and to help the environment. Good job presenting, just talk about why all of these things are important.
You had a good presentation. You spoke clearly and loudly. Try not to rely so much on your notes and try to speak more from memory. Good job though.
I enjoyed your presentation joey. Maybe run through your notes once or twice before the presentation so you don't have to look at your notes.
