Homework: Turn Off TV Week is April 23-29

Are you up to the challenge? This week you have a choice about your homework. You can either:

1. Give up TV cold turkey for one full week. This includes videos, and watching TV shows on the Internet. Just get a note from your parent or guardian certifying that you abstained from staring into the eerie blue eye for one full week and consider your homework done.
2. If you simply can’t live without TV, you will need to chart your TV watching habits. For the entirety of the next week (starting today, Friday, April 20th), you must record the name, duration and personal rating (on a scale of 1-5) for every single show you watch. **Note: usual TV watching rules at your home still apply. You may not use this assignment to force your families to allow you to watch more TV.

I will have TV diaries to hand out in class. If you lose yours or are absent, you can download and print another copy from the Homework Site. Please see me with any questions.
