In class: We talked about rationing and filled out the peach sheet in your packet. If you were absent fill out the peach sheet activities and a description for each hour (in your day personally) fill out all of the activities and descriptions.
Some situations have come up that you will need to ration for: In the ration column make adjustments for the following scenarios:
1. You have lost electricity for the entire day
2. Your car has broken down

Once you have made the adjustments, fill out the post-activity questions on the front page.
