Taxes

With April 15th occurring this week, it is the perfect time to learn about taxes. The first 39 students to respond to this post will go to this site, http://apps.irs.gov/app/understandingTaxes/student/index.jsp
and first click on the how's of taxes, select the next module that hasn't been covered, and complete the activities in that module. Write a short synopsis of the lesson and how you did on the assessment. Once the how's of taxes modules have been completed (there are 14) then the next student will start on the why's of taxes (there are 25). After all of the modules have been used, the next student will go to the irs.gov website and summarize one of the articles found on this site. Summaries need to be 150-200 words in length. Have fun and learn something about one of the two certainties in life.
